Figma AI Credits (2026): How Many You Get per Plan and What Figma Make Really Costs

How we checked: every number below comes from Figma's own pricing page and Figma's Help Center articles on AI credits, all read on October 30, 2026. Prices are in US dollars before tax. Sources are listed at the end. We have no affiliate relationship with Figma. Figma says credit costs "may change as models are optimized or new models become available," so treat the per-feature numbers as a snapshot.

The short answer

  • Every Figma seat comes with AI credits, and they reset monthly. A Full seat gets 3,000 credits a month on Professional, 3,500 on Organization and 4,250 on Enterprise. Dev, Collab and View seats, and everyone on the free Starter plan, get 500.
  • Starter and View seats also have a daily cap of 150 credits. You can't spend your whole 500 in one sitting.
  • Credits don't roll over, can't be shared, and aren't refunded if you undo an AI action.
  • Figma Make, the Figma agent and code layers have no fixed price. Figma's own examples run from about 30 credits for a font change to 300+ for a five-screen mobile flow. Image tools, by contrast, have fixed per-image costs.
  • Since October 6, 2026, the Figma agent in Figma Design and Weave tools use credits too. They draw from the same budget as Figma Make, so heavy Make users may find the agent shows 0 credits left.
  • Extra credits are bought by an admin, as a monthly credit subscription or pay-as-you-go billing. Figma doesn't publish those prices outside the admin dashboard.

How many credits each plan includes

Seat prices and credit amounts from figma.com/pricing and Figma's Help Center, October 30, 2026.

Plan Full seat price Full seat credits Dev seat Collab seat Daily cap
Starter Free 500/mo n/a n/a 150/day
Professional $16/mo (annual billing shown) 3,000/mo $12/mo, 500 credits $3/mo, 500 credits None on paid seats
Organization $55/mo, billed annually 3,500/mo $25/mo, 500 credits $5/mo, 500 credits None on paid seats
Enterprise $90/mo, billed annually 4,250/mo $35/mo, 500 credits $5/mo, 500 credits None on paid seats

View seats on paid plans also get 500 credits a month, with the same 150-a-day cap as Starter. Figma's pricing page defaults to annual billing for Professional; we couldn't confirm the month-to-month Professional price from the page, so check the Monthly toggle before you buy.

Two details from the Help Center that are easy to miss:

  • Credits are tied to a plan, not to you. If you belong to two teams or organizations, each gives you a separate allowance, and the two don't combine.
  • The Full seat is the only big jump. Moving from Professional to Enterprise adds 1,250 credits a month per Full seat, but upgrading a Dev or Collab seat to a Full seat adds 2,500 on Professional and even more on the higher plans. If you're the one person on your team who lives in Figma Make, the seat type matters more than the plan.

What each AI feature costs

Figma splits its AI features into two groups: tools with a fixed credit cost, and agentic tools whose cost depends on what the AI decides to do.

Fixed-cost features

Feature Credits per use
AI search, Rename layers Free
FigJam: Summarize stickies, Cluster stickies, Update visual Free
FigJam: Generate templates and diagrams 2 to 24 per prompt
Remove background 1 to 5 per image
Vectorize image 2 to 5 per image
Boost resolution, Erase object, Isolate object, Expand image 5 to 10 per image
Make image or Edit image 2 (ChatGPT Images 2.0), 6 (Nano Banana 2 Lite), 8 (Nano Banana), 16 (Nano Banana 2)
Add interactions 20 per use
Weave tools inside Figma Design 13 to 110 per run, depending on the tool

Source: Figma Help Center, "How Figma AI credits work," rates as of October 15, 2026.

The model choice for images makes a big difference. On a 500-credit Starter allowance, that's up to 250 images with ChatGPT Images 2.0 at 2 credits each, or about 31 with Nano Banana 2 at 16 credits each (and no more than 150 credits' worth in a single day).

Most first-party Weave tools cost 18 to 21 credits a run. The expensive ones are Art Deco, Bauhaus, Crayon art and Mystical folk at 55, Sticker pack at 78, and Generate product variations at 110. Running a Weave tool inside Figma uses your Figma AI credits; working directly in Figma Weave at weave.figma.com uses a separate Weave credit pool.

Agentic features: Figma Make, the Figma agent and code layers

For these, Figma says it "can't predict exactly how many credits a request will use in advance." Cost depends on the model, how many actions the task needs, and how much context (attached files, libraries, connectors, chat history) the model has to read. Figma's own approximate examples:

Feature Example task Approximate credits
Figma Make Change the font 30+
Figma Make Make an attached design interactive 75+
Figma Make Generate an app from scratch 100+
Figma agent in Figma Design Change the fonts in a design 30+
Figma agent in Figma Design Summarize what's on the canvas 100+
Figma agent in Figma Design Generate a 5-screen mobile checkout flow 300+
Figma agent in Specs Summarize or edit a spec 75+
Figma agent in Specs Draft a product brief from designs 150+
Code layers Create a code layer from frames 250+
Code layers Create variations of a code layer 315+
Code layers Update a code layer from designs 175+
ChatGPT to Figma Slides Generate a presentation 28 to 72+

Source: Figma Help Center. The Figma Make examples use Figma's default model as of February 2026. Every figure has a "+" because it's a floor, not a price.

So what does a Full Professional seat buy? Taking Figma's "100+" for a new app literally, 3,000 credits is at most about 30 apps generated from scratch in a month, and in practice fewer, because every follow-up prompt costs credits too. With the agent's "300+" checkout flow, it's at most about 10. On Starter's 150-a-day cap, a single new Make app can use most of a day's allowance.

A few rules from Figma's FAQ that change the math:

  • Conversation mode in Figma Make uses credits, not just build prompts.
  • Plan mode costs extra. The plan is a separate action, and building it afterward uses more credits. Figma argues a good plan saves correction prompts later.
  • Auto fix and "Fix for me" are free. Typing a new prompt to fix the same error is not.
  • Code layers are new. They entered open beta on October 15, 2026, and Figma says eligible users can use them without credits during a limited launch promotion.
  • The agent in FigJam and Figma Slides is still in closed beta and doesn't use credits yet. Making FigJam diagrams from ChatGPT doesn't use credits "at this time" either.

How to check your balance

Open any file you can edit (on a View seat, a file in your drafts), open the Main menu, and choose AI balance. It shows credits used, credits left and your reset date. After an agentic prompt finishes, hover over the AI credits icon under it to see what that prompt cost.

When you run out, AI features stop until your reset date unless an admin adds credits. You may see a button to request more, which emails your admin.

Buying more credits

Only admins can add credits, and they apply to the whole plan, not one person. Per Figma's "Manage AI credits" article:

  • Ongoing subscription: a monthly package of credits pooled across the plan. Seat credits are always used first. Subscription credits reset monthly and don't roll over, and the price per credit drops at higher tiers. On Professional it's month-to-month even on an annual plan; on Organization and Enterprise it runs with your annual contract and is invoiced quarterly.
  • Pay-as-you-go: extra credits billed on your next invoice, up to a monthly spending limit the admin sets. If you have both, subscription credits go first.
  • Admins can set per-person limits or turn paid credits off for someone. Enterprise can also set aside credits for billing groups and use an AI Usage API.

On August 25, 2026, Figma raised the credits in these add-ons without changing the price: 2x more on Professional and 1.6x more on Organization and Enterprise. Seat credits didn't change.

Figma doesn't list add-on prices on its public pages. Its FAQ says to look them up under Admin, then AI credits, then View usage, then Add credits, so we don't quote a per-credit price here.

How to make credits last

These come from Figma's own guide to saving credits in Figma Make:

  1. Write a complete first prompt. A vague start leads to correction prompts, and every correction costs credits.
  2. Pick the lighter model for small jobs. Figma calls Gemini Flash "the most credit-efficient option" for small styling changes, and suggests Claude Opus only for complex or exact work. Auto is the default.
  3. Start fresh when a chat gets long. Make re-reads its history on every prompt, so even simple prompts get pricier. Duplicating a file costs no credits and gives you a clean history.
  4. Edit small things by hand. Point-and-edit and direct code edits skip the model entirely.
  5. Send less context. A screenshot is lighter than a full frame when you don't need pixel accuracy, and pasting a short excerpt beats pointing a connector at a whole workspace.
  6. Set up a guidelines file once, then edit it by hand instead of asking Make to regenerate it.

Is a Full seat worth it for AI?

If you mainly want Figma for design and only occasionally use AI, the 500 credits on a Dev or Collab seat, or the free Starter plan, cover light image cleanup and the odd Make experiment. If you use Figma Make or the Figma agent every day, a Full seat's 3,000 credits will likely run out, because Figma itself says seat credits are "meant to help you try" AI and that everyday team use calls for an add-on.

If you're mainly after prompt-to-app building rather than design, it's worth comparing dedicated tools too. Our Lovable vs Bolt vs v0 comparison covers how their plans and credits work.

FAQ

How many AI credits does Figma's free plan include? 500 a month, with a cap of 150 per day. When you hit the daily cap, you can continue the next day.

How many credits does Figma Make use per prompt? It varies. Figma's examples are about 30+ to change a font, 75+ to make a design interactive and 100+ to generate an app, using its default model. Heavier models, long chat histories and attached files raise the cost.

Do Figma AI credits roll over? No. Seat credits and subscription credits both reset monthly and expire.

Does the Figma agent use AI credits? In Figma Design, yes, since it became generally available on October 6, 2026. It shares the same budget as Figma Make. The agent in FigJam and Figma Slides is in closed beta and doesn't use credits yet.

Can I get credits back if I undo an AI change? No. Undo reverts the file but doesn't refund credits.

How much do extra Figma AI credits cost? Figma shows add-on pricing only inside the admin dashboard, so we can't confirm a public price. What Figma does say is that bigger subscription tiers cost less per credit, and that add-ons were made 2x (Professional) or 1.6x (Organization and Enterprise) larger at the same price on August 25, 2026.
