In their own words
Figma Dev Mode
Figma Dev Mode gives developers a dedicated space to inspect design files and improve handoff from design to code. It exposes code snippets, component properties, structured layer data, annotations, measurements and variables. Developers can compare frame versions side by side to see changes over time. Code Connect maps design components to production components, while Figma’s MCP server supplies structured design context to AI agents generating design-informed code. Design layers can link to GitHub files, Jira tickets and Storybook stories. The Figma for VS Code extension can surface design-change notifications and provide IDE code autocomplete. Dev Mode requires a Full or Dev seat on a paid plan. Free viewers can still inspect basic design details, view measurements and properties, copy CSS, iOS and Android code, export assets and comment. Figma works in desktop browsers, with desktop apps for macOS and Windows and mobile apps for iOS and Android. The Professional Dev seat is $12 a month, billed monthly.
ProtoPie
ProtoPie is a high-fidelity platform for creating and testing interactive digital prototypes. Studio for macOS and Windows supports logic, variables, formulas, multi-touch gestures, text input, media playback, voice, camera access, and device sensors such as gyroscopes and compasses. Plugins import designs from Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD. Prototypes can connect phones, tablets, TVs, and wearables, with interactions synchronized across devices. The product ecosystem includes Studio, Player for mobile devices, Cloud for sharing, and Connect for connected experiences. Player is available for iOS, iPadOS, Android, and HarmonyOS. The Free plan includes two prototypes saved in Cloud, up to eight scenes per prototype, and 50MB of Cloud storage. ProtoPie lists Basic at $25 a month billed yearly, and Pro at $47 a month billed yearly. Free-plan limitations include no local file saving, share links, Handoff, or Team Libraries. Prototypes export only as.pie files, not PDF, JPEG, or HTML code.
