Zeplin offers various subscription plan options that will fit your team’s needs. You can check out the Zeplin plans and pricing from our pricing page.

Free plan

The free plan is best for people just starting with Zeplin.

On the Free plan, you can have 1 project (max 100 screens) and 1 styleguide (max 100 components) for free, without a trial period. You can create a project, upload your designs, and invite unlimited members.

All invited project members will be able to access specs and code snippets, download assets, add comments, invite other members to the project or styleguide.

Besides these features, you can access Zeplin’s most powerful features including:

  • Version Diff, for comparing precise screen versions

  • Annotations that all teammates have access to

  • Jira and Azure DevOps Integrations for real-time updates for development

  • VS Code sync for quick access to designs in your code editor

  • Approvals for more straightforward stakeholder review and alignment

☝️ On the Free plan, only the project owner can upload designs to their project and styleguide. You'll need to upgrade to one of the paid plans to give project members the ability to export.

Pay per project plans

Basic plan

The Basic plan is ideal for individuals and smaller teams working with many collaborators on a time-bound project or for those who wish to bill project costs to clients and avoid incurring per-seat costs.

With our Basic plan, you can purchase a single project or a pack of multiple projects and add unlimited members to each project. All members have the same access: the ability to upload designs, view specs, copy code, and actively edit information inside a project. This gives you the flexibility to pay strictly for what you need at a small scale and grants access to each individual project separately to whoever needs it.

There are five Basic plans that offer different numbers of projects: Basic, 1 Pack for 1 project; Basic, 3 Pack for 3 projects; Basic, 6 Pack for 6 projects; Basic, 9 Pack for 9 projects; and Basic, 12 Pack for 12 projects.

Basic plans include everything in the Free plan, plus unlocks:

  • Unlimited screens

  • Unlimited components

  • 1 year version history

You can learn all the features that the Basic plans offer in this article: Basic plans

Pay per seat plans

The Advanced and Enterprise plans offer the most feature-rich design delivery platform at the best per seat value, and it’s ideal for cross-functional product teams consistently shipping many related projects and products together. Zeplin helps your entire organization go from design to development faster and with higher quality by being a central hub for design to development workflows, with the assurance of advanced security (e.g. SSO, MFA, SCIM), priority support, cross-project workspace and user permission controls.

These plans allow unlimited Reviewers for free. Reviewers can view and comment on designs and design documentation (like annotations and flows). They however don’t have access to developer specs.

Advanced plan

The Advanced plan includes all features in Basic plans with 50 active projects, unlimited styleguides, and below:

  • Centralize workspace: It comes with a team workspace where all members benefits from the same structured documentation. All members can access to workspace projects and styleguides, depending on their roles.

  • User permissions: More controls in place to manage your workspace members. You can define what resources your workspace members can access.

  • Project sections and statuses: You can gather your related projects under sections, assign them statuses, link any external resources like product briefs, Jira boards, Google Drive, Notion docs, Github repos, etc. to your sections.

  • Enterprise-grade security with SAML SSO, MFA, SCIM

Terms in Zeplin

What is a project?

A project is a collection of screens for a specific platform (iOS, Android, Web, and macOS).

Each plan has different screen limits; you can learn more about this here.

What is a styleguide?

A styleguide is a collection of colors, text styles, spacing tokens, and components for a specific platform. Each plan has a different limit on active styleguides; you can learn more about this here.

You can also check this collection for more details about the styleguides.

What does it mean to archive a project or styleguide?

If you are no longer working on a project or styleguide but would like to access it at a later time, you can archive it.

Who can use this feature?

Advanced or Enterprise plans

  • Only members with an Editor or higher role.

Archiving prevents any member from accessing the project or styleguide— this means the specs, code snippets, project, styleguide, and notes will not be available to anyone.

Archived projects and styleguides do not count against your plan’s limit. They are stored securely on the cloud, and you can archive as many projects/styleguides as you’d like. You can learn more from the following articles:

What is the difference between deleting and archiving?

If you no longer want access to a project or styleguide, you can delete it. This will permanently delete them from our system. However, since archived projects are still stored in the cloud, you can reactivate them later on when you need those projects again. You can learn how to delete your projects/styleguides from these articles permanently:

What if I need more projects? Can I upgrade at any time?

Sure! You can upgrade your plan at any time. When you upgrade, the change goes into effect immediately, and you will be billed for a prorated amount for the new plan.
