Figma and Miro are often shortlisted together because both put an infinite canvas in front of a team, and they part ways the moment someone asks what leaves the canvas. Figma produces design files, prototypes and developer handoff. Miro produces workshops, diagrams, roadmaps and sticky-note sessions, then gets out of the way.
TL;DR
Figma is a design tool with a canvas: a free Starter plan with unlimited drafts, Professional at $16 per full seat per month, Organization at $55 and Enterprise at $90, both billed annually, with cheaper dev and collab seats alongside. Miro is a whiteboard with apps: a free plan, Starter at $8 per member per month billed yearly, Business at $20 and Enterprise negotiated from 30 members. Choose Figma when the deliverable is an interface; choose Miro when the deliverable is a room full of thinking.
Figma's pricing page lists prices in USD and separates seats by role. The free Starter plan gives unlimited drafts, UI kits and templates, and 150 AI credits per day up to 500 per month. Professional lists a full seat at $16 per month, a dev seat at $12 and a collab seat at $3, with 3,000 AI credits per month on the full seat, and adds unlimited files and projects, team-wide design libraries and advanced Dev Mode inspection with an MCP server. Organization, billed annually, lists a full seat at $55 per month with 3,500 AI credits, a dev seat at $25 and a collab seat at $5, and adds publishing across teams, centralised admin tools and basic security. Enterprise, also billed annually, is $90 per full seat per month with 4,250 AI credits, a $35 dev seat and a $5 collab seat, and adds custom team workspaces and governance controls. The monthly and annual toggle on the page means the exact full-seat figure moves with the billing choice you make.
Miro leads with a free plan and two published paid tiers. Starter is $8 per month per member billed yearly and unlocks unlimited private boards, visitor editing, high-resolution exports, project spaces and blueprints, timer and voting tools, 25 AI credits per member per month and 500 MCP calls per day. Business is $20 per month per member billed yearly and adds unlimited workspaces, unlimited guests, 4,700-plus shapes for mapping technical systems and cloud architecture, data tables, single sign-on, and AI workflows and agents with 50 AI credits per member per month. Enterprise is quoted, starts from 30 members, and adds enterprise security, audit controls and regional data hosting in the EU, US, Australia and Japan. The page advertises more than 250 integrations.

Pick Figma if
Figma is where the product itself gets designed: components, libraries, prototypes and a Dev Mode that engineering reads from. The role-based seat pricing keeps viewers and developers cheaper than designers, and the free plan is enough for a solo practitioner to stay on drafts. Budget per full seat and remember that Organization and Enterprise are annual contracts.
Pick Miro if
Miro is the better surface for discovery, architecture review and cross-team sessions, and at $8 per member billed yearly it is the cheaper way to put a shared canvas in front of a large group. Unlimited guests on Business make it workable for workshops with clients and contractors. It will not replace the design file, and its AI credits are metered per member.

Per person, yes. Miro's Starter tier is $8 per member per month billed yearly against a Figma Professional full seat at $16 per month. Figma softens that with $12 dev seats and $3 collab seats for people who only read or inspect designs.
No. Miro does not have components, design libraries, prototypes or developer inspection. Teams use it beside Figma for planning and diagramming, then keep the interface work in Figma.
Yes. Figma's Starter plan offers unlimited drafts with 500 AI credits a month, and Miro's free plan covers the core board feature set. Both restrict the paid features that teams eventually need.
Figma allocates 3,000 credits per month on a Professional full seat and up to 4,250 on Enterprise, with 500 a month on collab and dev seats. Miro allocates 25 credits per member on Starter and 50 on Business, and both vendors meter usage on the same page they price the plans.
Miro: Business includes unlimited guests, so clients and partners can join boards without paid seats. In Figma, external participants need a collab seat at $3 to $5 per month depending on the tier.
Figma shows Professional with a monthly and annual choice, while Organization and Enterprise are billed annually. Miro's $8 and $20 figures are both stated as billed yearly, so month-to-month pricing is higher.
