Even if you’re whitelisted you get only 6 accesses a day on a standard account, have to pay for a dev account to get 200/day which still isn’t great.
For my Figma needs, having Codex do computer use seems just as good as their mcp. I can tell it, “go download the assets for what I need and take a few screenshots for reference”.
Dev seats always felt like a ripoff IMO. They are just nickel and diming enterprise orgs for features that should just be free. Especially now when AI makes Figma's own code generation useless.
I couldn't believe it when file annotations are only visible to users with design and dev seats. Like my PMs will never be able to read the annotations. I stopped using that feature entirely after that, and just stuck to pasting in FigJam sticky notes instead.
