Figma Make

Figma Make turns written prompts into interactive wireframes, flows, dashboards, and apps. A project can start from a blank canvas or an existing frame or component from Figma Design. Users can refine generated work in a visual editor, adjust code in a built-in editor, or submit another prompt. It can create data-connected prototypes that can be refined and tested, using real content or API data through a backend integration. Prototypes can be shared with a team or published publicly. Prompts use AI credits, and the amount consumed varies with the selected model, task complexity, and context volume. Organization and Enterprise members can access vetted connectors such as Notion, Asana, Linear, GitHub, and Atlassian; Organization members can also connect custom MCP servers, subject to organization settings. Figma Make is listed for macOS and web. The closed beta for using Make in a local codebase is Mac-only and requires the Figma Beta desktop app for Mac. A Professional Full seat is $16 a month, billed monthly; other seat plans have different prices and billing terms.

Figma Make combines prompt-based generation with visual and code editing and data-connected prototypes. Consider the AI-credit usage and seat-specific pricing when assessing it for ongoing work.

Figma Make suits people who want to turn prompts or existing Figma Design components into interactive prototypes. Its connector options may also suit Organization and Enterprise members working with the listed services.

Overview

Figma Make is a prompt-led tool for building interactive interface concepts, from wireframes and flows to dashboards and apps. It is best suited to teams that want to develop and test ideas within a Figma workflow, rather than produce a static mockup alone. Its breadth of editing and data-connected prototyping is compelling, but credit allowances and seat costs shape how comfortably it fits ongoing work.

Key features

• Generate and bring in work: Start with a natural-language prompt or bring a frame or component from Figma Design. The latter gives existing design work a direct route into a prototype; sketch and image input also support rougher starting points.
• Refine at different levels: Users can adjust generated work visually, edit code in the built-in editor, or prompt for another iteration. That flexibility can serve both designers shaping an interface and users who want to work closer to its code.
• Prototype with data: Prototypes can connect to real content or API data, then be refined and tested. This makes Make more useful for checking how an experience behaves than a clickable concept without realistic inputs.
• Share and connect: Prototypes can be shared with a team or published publicly, and real-time collaboration supports joint review. Organization and Enterprise members can use vetted MCP connectors such as Notion, Asana, Linear, GitHub, and Atlassian; Organization members can also connect custom MCP servers, subject to organization settings.
• Mind the credit meter: Prompts consume AI credits, with usage varying by model, task complexity, and context volume. A credit allowance therefore does not translate into a predictable number of iterations.

Pricing

Figma Make is freemium. The Starter plan has no listed price and provides 150 AI credits per day and 500 per month, a useful way to try the workflow but a modest monthly ceiling for sustained prompting.

Professional is the entry paid tier, with monthly billing:

• Full seat: $16 a month and 3,000 AI credits per month. This is the strongest fit for regular Make use, with six times the Starter monthly allowance.
• Dev seat: $12 a month and 500 AI credits per month.
• Collab seat: $3 a month and 500 AI credits per month.

The lower-cost Dev and Collab seats retain the same stated monthly credit allowance as Starter, so they are less compelling for people whose main need is frequent prompt generation. They fit better when the seat type, rather than a larger credit pool, is the priority.

Organization is billed annually: Full seat is $55 a month with 3,500 AI credits per month; Dev seat is $25 a month with 500; Collab seat is $5 a month with 500. Enterprise is also billed annually: Full seat is $90 a month with 4,250 AI credits per month; Dev seat is $35 a month with 500; Collab seat is $5 a month with 500. The higher tiers raise Full-seat credits and include access to the specified connectors, but their annual billing makes them a larger commitment than Professional's monthly terms.

Platforms

Figma Make is available on macOS and the web. A closed beta for using Make in a local codebase is Mac-only and requires the Figma Beta desktop app for Mac. ZIP export is supported.

Who it's for

Make suits designers and product teams who want to turn prompts or existing Figma components into interactive prototypes, particularly when testing with real content or API data matters. The range of visual and code editing gives it room to serve different stages of refinement. It is a weaker fit for occasional users who need many iterations: variable credit consumption can make the free allowance hard to budget, while a Full seat costs more than the lower-credit seat options.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Prompting, visual editing, and code editing all contribute to one prototype workflow, rather than limiting users to generated wireframes.
• Pro: Connections to real content or API data make prototypes more useful for evaluating behavior before moving beyond concept work.
• Pro: Team sharing, public publishing, and real-time collaboration support review beyond an individual maker.
• Con: Credit use varies by model, complexity, and context, so users cannot reliably plan a fixed number of prompts from the monthly quota.
• Con: Dev and Collab seats include only 500 monthly AI credits, even on the Organization and Enterprise tiers.
• Con: Organization and Enterprise prices are billed annually, which is less flexible than Professional's monthly billing.

Alternatives

For a different prompt-to-app route, v0 offers a free plan with seven messages a day, Vercel deployment, Design Mode, and GitHub sync; choose it when those stated capabilities are the better match. Fronty has a free plan that publishes to a free fronty.live address with Fronty branding, making it an option when that publishing route suits the need.

Verdict

Choose Figma Make if your work benefits from turning prompts or Figma components into data-connected, testable prototypes with visual and code refinement in the same workflow. Its main advantage is that it reaches beyond static generation into interactive prototyping and sharing. Look elsewhere if you need predictable prompt volume on a tight budget: credit consumption varies, and the most generous allowances come with higher-priced Full seats.
