How should I read the ×2?

The ×2 represents the estimated gain from our hybrid organisation. The simulator combines that assumption with actual plan volume pricing; it is not a performance guarantee. Your results depend on the product, scope and checks required.

What if my freelancer already uses AI?

Yes, and that is a good thing. Our comparison does not assume they work without AI. Figue’s difference is the organisation around it: multiple skills, a shared workspace and a team taking work through to delivery.

Is this a dedicated full-time team?

No. You access the team’s expertise within your plan’s allowance. You keep control of priorities and approve the results. If you need someone embedded full-time in your team, a freelance assignment may be a better fit.

Can you take over an existing product?

Share your code, tools and priorities. We review the technologies, what we can take over and project eligibility before choosing a plan. A complete new product is usually better suited to our project offer.

VS FREELANCER

With the same tech budget, you get twice as much.

A freelancer sells you days. Figue delivers your product. A hybrid AI + experts agency, with a whole team to design, build and ship. You set the direction. We move your product forward.

Unmeasured Figue assumptions: 1.25 × 1.10 × 1.20 × 1.10 × 1.10 ≈ 2. Gains are compounded, not added.

Then, the volume effect

With Plus, the catalogue offers 6.8% more allowance per euro than Essentiel.

×2.14

Illustrative simulation: ×2 is a commercial assumption, not a guarantee or a measurement of your project. Between plans, the curve projects the whole budget at the selected plan’s energy rate. Remaining budget is theoretical: actual top-ups come in packs. Steps in the curve correspond to rate changes. No penalty is applied to the freelancer. The index is neither working days nor a guaranteed number of features.

WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

An entire team to help you deliver.

Your budget also buys freedom from day-to-day coordination. Here is what Figue’s hybrid agency handles for you.

The right expertise

A screen to design, an API to connect, an architecture decision. As the need changes, the skills follow.

One place to coordinate

You tell us what matters. We clarify requests and organise the work. Fewer moving parts for you to manage.

AI, with judgement

AI helps build. The team chooses the approach, reviews and tests. Value comes from what actually works in the end.

Through to delivery

From request to launch, work stays tracked in the Studio. You know what is moving and what needs your input.

FIGUE STUDIO

Fewer follow-ups. More visibility.

Your priorities, your energy, your deliveries. All in one place. See what is moving forward, what is coming next and what needs your reply.
