Competing with Major Creative Suites
With the introduction of these tools, Figma is positioning itself to compete with established creative suites like Adobe and Canva. However, Yuhki Yamashita, Figma’s Chief Product Officer, emphasizes that Figma is focused on building digital products rather than directly competing in the creative tools market.
New Content Seat Plan
To enhance accessibility, Figma has announced a new Content Seat plan starting at just $8 per month. This plan includes access to Figma Buzz, Slides, FigJam, and the Sites CMS, making it easier for users to harness the full potential of Figma’s innovative tools.
