I can guess what's coming next: dev mode will get locked behind the "editor" per user pricing and then it's going to become a pain getting stuff out of Figma.

Also, there's an annoying "bug" in Figma when it tries to implement its own hotkeys: I have various Ctrl/Cmnd key combos swapped and hitting Ctrl causes Figma to de-select whatever I've highlighted so that trying to copy some portion of a colour code or whatever with Ctrl+C causes me to copy nothing but thin air.

They already announced that in ~1 year dev mode will become a paid feature - 25 bucks a month per dev, or 35 if you’re on the “enterprise” plan.

> In 2024, Dev Mode will be included in all editor seats or can be purchased separately for $25 per seat/month on Organization, and $35 per seat/month on Enterprise.

$25/mth seems like an egregious price for such an unhelpful feature. I understand it will get better, but at this point... I can't imagine paying more than $5/mth on top of my current price assuming it was more polished.

Maybe I'm not the target market. I can transcribe visuals to CSS and HTML fairly automatically due to so many years of doing it, and I can do it reliably and consistently in ways that fit various workflows and other challenges. I understand Figma probably wants dev mode to provide a source of truth and gradually add some show stopping features, but even then... $25 is so much. I already feel like Figma costs me more than I want to pay for it. Their pricing model is really aggressive.

Dev Mode is included in the $15 per editor Professional tier.

$25 Dev Mode stand-alone subscription is a less expensive option for Organization or Enterprise tiers, which are $45-75 per editor.

Ah. I feel silly now. Thanks for pointing that out, and I’ll try to do my research next time.

Was Figma always so ridiculously expensive? I guess it’s no surprise my company doesn’t want all the devs to have editor seats.

No biggie. They weren't very clear about it at Config. They explained it better in a follow-up webinar.
