For teams, Figma Professional at $15 per editor per month includes real-time collaboration, shared libraries, and branching.

Its native macOS app feels faster for complex files. You own your files when they live on your machine. The plugin ecosystem is mature and well maintained. For most teams choosing today, Figma is the practical pick. Browser access means no IT setup. Sharing with stakeholders takes one link. No operating system locks you out.
