Figma is VC-funded. Now that they’re not going to be part of Adobe, they’ll just more slowly turn into another Adobe because the investors want the exit.
Prices will creep up, product segmentation will be introduced, pop-ups pushing expensive service add-ons will eventually appear. And when the revenue number is pumped enough, it goes public or is sold to private equity which has no trouble with antitrust regulators.

- wolfpack_mick 3y agoIn terms of pricing model Adobe is generous compared to Figma. Someone with their own creative cloud subscription can open my .psd's. But if I want to collaborate with someone in Figma, I need to pay for their access even if they have their own paid Figma account.
- capableweb 3y agoAbsolutely, that I agree with. But even so, Figma's prices have been increasing, the product is being segmented, they're increasingly pushing for various addons, even if Figma still is cheaper than Adobe.
- pavlov 3y agoYes. Which is why I’m surprised that people seem to think this break-up will prevent Figma from turning into yet another Adobe-like SaaS with heavy upsell.
