Figma alternatives.
Nine design tools instead of Figma, open source, native or AI first: where each one runs, whether it opens your Figma files, and what it costs. And how to get a design into HubSpot or WordPress.
Prices and features checked on 29 October 2026 on each vendor’s website. They change often.
Why people look past Figma.
AI credits now set the limit
Since 18 March 2026 Figma enforces AI credit limits, 3,000 a month on a Professional Full seat, and the Figma agent draws on them since 6 October.
Seats add up
A Professional Full seat costs $16 a month billed yearly or $20 monthly; Organization $55 and Enterprise $90, billed yearly.
The free plan is tight
Starter allows three design files with three pages each, without Dev Mode or team libraries.
