Ask HN: Is there a market for premium Figma plugins?
2 points by cryptography on Aug 13, 2023 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
Hello HN Community, I'm currently working on a project that might be of potential interest and usefulness to Figma users. It's a plugin aimed at enhancing design workflows and introducing some innovative functionalities that can save designers and design teams a significant amount of time.

Before moving ahead with it, I wanted to gauge whether there's a market for premium Figma plugins out there. From your experience, are you or your team generally willing to invest in paid plugins if they offer valuable features and save time? What features or benefits would make a Figma plugin worth paying for, in your opinion?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this. Any feedback, both positive and negative, would be extremely valuable to me and the direction of the project.

Thank you in advance for your insights!




These guys built a few Figma plugins, made money from that, and also got acquired by Figma: https://diagram.com/


My general feeling is that no matter what platform, if you can indeed provide a solution that help professional save time, and you market it well, they will likely pay for it.

That’s just capitalism 101.

As long as your solution is cheaper than the extra amount of money it’s going to produce for the said professional, he will pay for it.
