How do I reduce Figma license costs?
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.

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.
