Lucidchart vs Figma
pricing comparison · 2026 · Updated April 2026
Lucidchart pricing ranges from $0–$12.17/month, while Figma ranges from $0–$90/user/month. These products use different pricing models ( vs Per-seat subscription), so a direct price comparison isn't meaningful — costs depend on usage volume and mix.
Lucidchart and Figma's FigJam serve overlapping but distinct purposes in the visual collaboration space. Lucidchart is a dedicated diagramming platform with hundreds of shape libraries covering everything from network topology to BPMN process flows. FigJam is Figma's collaborative whiteboard product, designed for brainstorming, design critiques, and team workshops — with the advantage of tight integration with Figma's design files.
The practical difference: Lucidchart is what you use when you need a technically precise diagram that will live in documentation. FigJam is what you use when your team needs to think together visually, especially if you're already in the Figma ecosystem. FigJam's pricing is also more accessible — it's included in Figma's Starter plan for free.

Our Verdict
For design teams already using Figma, FigJam is the obvious choice — it's included in your existing plan, deeply integrated with your design files, and purpose-built for the kind of collaborative workshops designers run. Adding Lucidchart on top is unnecessary for most design workflows.
For engineering, operations, and IT teams that need structured technical diagrams — flowcharts, network topologies, ERDs, architecture diagrams — Lucidchart has no equal. Its shape library depth and data-linking capabilities serve documentation use cases that FigJam simply isn't designed for. At $9/user/month, Lucidchart Individual is an accessible add-on for technical teams.
Frequently Asked Questions
01 Is FigJam free?
FigJam is included in Figma's Starter plan (free, up to 3 projects). For unlimited FigJam boards, you need Figma Professional at $16/user/month (or $12 billed annually).
02 Can Lucidchart import into Figma?
Not directly. You can export Lucidchart diagrams as SVG or PNG and import them into Figma, but there's no live sync. Teams typically use Lucidchart for documentation and Figma for design — treating them as complementary tools.
03 Which is better for flowcharts?
Lucidchart is the stronger flowchart tool with more shape types, connection logic, and structured templates. FigJam can create simple flowcharts but lacks the precision and depth of Lucidchart's diagramming engine.
04 Does Figma Professional include Lucidchart?
No. Figma Professional ($16/user/month) includes unlimited FigJam boards, Figma design files, and dev mode. Lucidchart is a separate subscription. If you need both, budget $16–$25/user/month total.
