Answer

How do I reduce Figma license costs?

Short answer

Downgrade viewer-only users from Editor seats ($15/mo) to Viewer (free) — most companies have 30–50% Editor over-provisioning because Figma defaults to Editor on invite.

Details

Figma tiers: Professional Editor $15/mo, Organization Editor $45/mo, Enterprise Editor $75/mo. Viewers are free on every tier.

The ghost seat problem in Figma is Editor seats assigned to people who only ever view — PMs, engineers, execs who occasionally look at designs but never edit them.

The audit signal is 'edits in last 30 days.' Zero edits = downgrade to Viewer. This is one of the highest-ROI reclaim actions because the delta ($15–$75/user/mo) is large.

Automate this with SeatMap.AI

The audit path above works. It also takes hours per month per tool. SeatMap.AI runs it on a schedule, stages the reclaim actions for review, and shows you the annualized savings in real dollars.
