45/month for an enterprise seems like nothing. How many editors could a company have? If every editor costs ~50k (I'm making this up, I suspect it's more), 540

45/month for an enterprise seems like nothing. How many editors could a company have? If every editor costs ~50k (I'm making this up, I suspect it's more), 540 annual is a blip.
- achow 5y agoCompare $45/month to $33/Month (Photoshop). Edited the price & feature info. Photoshop has 20+ years of development behind it, tons of feature across different domains (UI, photography, animation to print production), cutting edge Visual Computing features.., plus 1TB cloud storage. https://www.adobe.com/plans-fragments/modals/business/modals/photoshop/master.html https://www.adobe.com/plans-fragments/modals/business/modals... The key word is $45/month for the functionality it provides. [Disclaimer - NOT A fan of Adobe and trying to get away from the shackles of it.]
- ichik 5y agoSo you're comparing enterprise license of Figma with individual license for Photoshop? That's a tad unfair seeing as individual Figma license is free.
- achow 5y agoThanks. Updated the enterprise price info for Photoshop ($33 vs for personal $25)
- spoonjim 5y agoFigma and Photoshop are totally different in functionality. Comparing their prices is like comparing a ham sandwich to a 9 volt battery.
- achow 5y agoCost of setting up and running (at profit) a Ham sandwich kitchen vs a 9v battery factory we are talking about.
- Griffinsauce 5y agoIt makes no sense to compare the prices without also comparing how their wildly different feature set applies to your needs.
- rchaud 5y agoAdobe's Figma equivalent is called "XD", as in Adobe XD. Photoshop isn't designed for interactive prototyping. Of course it's still used to develop high fidelity website mockups.
- staticassertion 5y ago12 dollars a month is literally nothing to a company that is spending 10s or 100s of thousands on an editor. No one should think twice about that pricing. I pay for stuff like this all the time at my relatively small (8 people) company. It is a blip on our burn chart, it all gets rolled up into a "doesn't matter" column because the cost of each license per engineer is less than a percent of their salary.
- adfm 5y agoIt's great to collaborate, but unless you're actively with a client/team demoing something, it's more of a distraction. For the money you'd spend on one month of Figma, you can get something like Affinity Designer and pocket the $495. And you'd get a native file to do with as you choose... in perpetuity.
- staticassertion 5y agoThe point is that a company is not going to care about pocketing 495 dollars, or even twice that, when they're spending 50k on a designer. They wouldn't even think twice.
- davidivadavid 5y agoIf you're not with a team you don't need the enterprise license and can use everything for free.
- mekster 5y agoPricing should be decided by not whether one can pay but if it's worth it. I'm paying Jetbrains full product package for just < $15/mo. Surely Figma isn't providing 3 times more productivity than all of their tools combined. There's a difference between I can pay and I don't want to pay.
- staticassertion 5y agoYou're talking about a single user license. At a company it's a no brainer, the difference between 15 and 50 dollars is 0, it is de-facto "worth it".
