Where it fits

Figma belongs on a shortlist for interface layouts, reusable components and interactive prototypes. It can produce graphic assets, but a photo-editing comparison alone misses its main role in a product team. Its broader suite now includes drawing and brand-content tools, with access determined by seat type. A Full seat is different from a Dev or Collab seat. The free plan allows personal drafts but limits the shared design workspace. Offline work supports loaded pages and one new file, but it is not a fully featured offline workspace. Check the exact design, review and developer roles before estimating a team's total cost.
