Common questions
How is Figma's Consensus Profile calculated?＋
We pull every category where Figma appears, weight each Market Consensus by how many sources ranked it, and average those into a cross-category profile. The confidence rating (currently Medium) reflects how many distinct sources covered Figma across all categories — 7 unique sources here.
What does Figma's confidence rating mean?＋
"Very High" means 7+ distinct review sources ranked Figma somewhere on our covered categories. "High" is 5–6, "Medium" is 3–4, "Low" is 1–2. Higher confidence = more independent corroboration, not necessarily a higher score.
What does it mean if Figma ranks #1 in some categories but lower in others?＋
Categories test for different things. Figma has 0 #1 placements across the consensus dataset. Top-tier in one category and middle-of-pack in another usually means the tool is optimized for one buyer profile — and that's signal, not noise.
Why does FutureFounder publish a Consensus Profile per tool?＋
