FAQ

I’m an existing user from before the paid version. What happens to my flows?

Existing flows drawn before the release of the paid version will not count toward the limit. Users of these files will receive 50 free flows on top of existing flows per file.

Do flows that I draw and delete count toward my free flow limit?

Deleted flows won’t count toward the limit. Only flows present on the canvas are counted.

Do you offer business or organization pricing?

Bulk pricing is currently not supported by the Figma plugins marketplace.

Where can I submit feedback or a feature request?
