Figma

Figma is the industry standard for UI and product design. It runs entirely in the browser, enabling real-time collaboration between designers, developers, and stakeholders without file version conflicts.

Why Teams Use Figma

Before Figma, design collaboration meant emailing files back and forth and dealing with version conflicts. Figma made design multiplayer: multiple people can work on the same file simultaneously, leave comments, and inspect designs for development.

What You Get on the Free Plan

• 3 Figma files - Full design files with unlimited layers and components
• 3 FigJam files - Collaborative whiteboard files for brainstorming
• Unlimited personal drafts - Work on as many designs as you want privately
• Unlimited viewers - Share designs with anyone for free
• Mobile app - Preview and present designs on your phone
• Plugin ecosystem - Access thousands of community-built plugins

Free Plan Limits

The 3-file limit is the main restriction. You cannot create team libraries or access advanced version history on the free plan. For a solo founder building their first product, 3 files (e.g., app design, marketing site, pitch deck) can go a long way.
