Claim this listingFindThatSoftware verdictEditorial ruling
Shortlist Figma if your team designs apps, websites or product screens together and wants design systems, prototypes and developer handoff in one file. Before paying, map each person to a seat type: only people who edit design files need a Full seat, developers who need full Dev Mode need a Dev seat, and people who only view, comment or do basic inspection can stay on a free View seat.
Read the full verdict
Figma bills in US dollars only, so budget for forex charges, and add your GSTIN in billing settings so GST is not added and you account for it under reverse charge. Annual Professional billing is about a fifth cheaper than monthly, but fees are non-refundable and you cannot cut seats mid term. If you mainly need marketing graphics and social posts, Canva is simpler and cheaper; Figma earns its cost when interface design and handoff are the core work.
FindThatSoftware has source-checked this listing and keeps 10 public sources visible for buyer verification.
In short
Figma is listed under Design & Creative, reviewed for Indian buyers. All-in it runs about ₹291/user/mo for a GST-registered business ($3/user/mo sticker plus about 3.5% card forex). It issues an India GST invoice, so you can claim input credit. FindThatSoftware rates it best for product and UI/UX design teams; a poor fit for teams that only need quick marketing graphics or social posts, where Canva is simpler and cheaper.

Registered business, per user per month, billed yearly
₹291
Figma advertises $3/user/mo. A GST-registered business in India pays about ₹291 a month (₹3,497/yr) once the roughly 3.5% card forex markup is added, with GST reclaimed as input credit. If you cannot reclaim GST, it is about ₹344 a month.

More
Figma bills in US dollars with no rupee option and its prices exclude tax: Indian accounts are charged GST unless they add a valid GSTIN, after which they self-account under reverse charge. Fees are non-refundable, and seats added during an annual Professional term are billed as a separate monthly subscription at the higher monthly rate.
Indicative, not a bill. The exchange rate is a single mid-market reference, not a live feed, and GST-registered businesses may reclaim input credit. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site.

Audit your spendWho Figma fits
What it is, what you gain, what you give up, and who should look elsewhere.
What is Figma?
Figma is a collaborative design platform run by Figma, Inc., a US company, built for product, UI and UX teams. Designers create interfaces, reusable components, variables and interactive prototypes in Figma Design, developers inspect specs and code in Dev Mode, and a Full seat also covers FigJam whiteboards, Figma Slides, Figma Draw and the prompt-to-app tool Figma Make. It runs in the browser and in desktop and mobile apps, with several people editing the same file live and free View seats for reviewers. Newer products such as Figma Sites, Motion and Buzz are still in beta, and the free Starter plan caps a team at three design files, three FigJam files and three Slides files in a single folder.
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- Multiplayer editing works well enough that review happens in the file instead of in screenshots
- Design systems, variables and prototyping live in one file rather than three separate tools
- View seats are free, so clients and stakeholders can view, comment and do basic inspection without a paid seat
The catch
- Billed only in US dollars, so Indian teams pay forex charges on top of GST and cannot be billed in rupees
- Monthly Professional billing costs about a quarter more than annual, and annual fees are non-refundable with no seat cuts mid term
- Anyone who edits design files needs a Full seat, the most expensive type; Dev and Collab seats cannot edit Figma Design files
- The free Starter plan is tight for real work: three design files in one folder, 30 days of version history and no Dev Mode
Best for
- Product and UI/UX design teams
- Teams needing real-time design collaboration
- Designers building design systems
Who should avoid it
- Teams that only need quick marketing graphics or social posts, where Canva is simpler and cheaper
- Buyers who need rupee billing or must avoid foreign currency card charges on software

Figma questions
Does Figma give a GST invoice in India?
- Figma issues an India GST invoice, so a GST-registered business can claim input tax credit on it directly.
Is Figma good for Indian small businesses?
- It suits product and UI/UX design teams. It bills in a foreign currency, so expect the card forex markup on every charge. It is not the right pick for teams that only need quick marketing graphics or social posts, where Canva is simpler and cheaper.
Does Figma have a free plan?
- Figma lists a free plan, but check the official pricing page for current usage limits before choosing it.
