De-facto industry standard, but the pricing is classic monopoly abuse. It deliberately pushes you to the $190/seat plan by removing essential functions and/or making available things harder.
Update: Figma's billing practices is borderline scam. I was literally charged 3 times for 1 month of 1 Professional seat. The support is silent OF COURSE.

Comments and Reviews
Extremely intuitive app, great to do high fidelity prototypes without the features overkill of an Adobe app.
After becoming almost a monopolist on a market for such apps, they are now actively engaging in bait & switch tactic: First, they removed the collaborative element from the free plan. To have more than 1 editor you are now have to create a team and pay them $15/mo. Being quite bad at building non-linear flows, they made a fix, but also paywalled it. Now they paywalled the feature that was there from the very beginning. The inspect mode (upgraded and renamed to Devmode). Oh and as people mentioned before: it is online only, has no Linux native client despite being an Electron.
