Summary: On June 11, 2024, we announced Zeplin's Summer Breeze release which includes a redesigned app, all-new project-based plans for personal and small teams, and updates to the Free plan. Read more about these changes and what they mean for you as current Zeplin users.

Zeplin has launched a redesigned app as part of its “Summer Breeze” Release. This means a modern, fresh look with a lighter user experience that’s consistent across web and native apps.

Since our last design refresh five years ago, Zeplin has grown beyond just a tool for handoff. Our newer features have not only pioneered workflows in the design-to-dev collaboration space — and set the stage for new entrants in the market — but also brought in new teams of all shapes and sizes.

As our users have grown with us, we have always wanted to revisit Zeplin’s core user interface. With this redesign, we aim to accomplish four key goals:

We're excited to welcome new and returning users looking not just for more control, structure, and precision from their design delivery but also for an affordable price point that works for wherever you are in your product journey. Learn more about Zeplin’s new project-based plans.

On June 11, 2024 and after, when you log into Zeplin’s web app, you will automatically have access to the Zeplin Summer Breeze release in your browser.

On Zeplin’s macOS app, you will be asked to update your app one final time — that means no more updates in the future! This will automatically take you to Zeplin’s Summer Breeze release (see below for details).

We’ve worked hard to make sure you experience no interruptions to your usual ways of working once you are in the redesigned Zeplin app. When you log in for the first time, you will notice improvements in the following areas:

Some interactions have shifted access points, but no functionality or feature has been removed. For a deeper dive into exactly what’s changed, check out the release blog.

Zeplin now has brand new project-based Basic plans, and a new Free plan with expanded features. These new plans are designed around a simple core belief we hold at Zeplin that the tools to build beautiful products should be accessible to all product creators, from individual freelancers to the largest of enterprises.

If you’re just getting started with Zeplin, you can now try for free with our updated Free plan with new, extended features and access.

Zeplin’s project-based Basic plans are ideal for individuals and small teams who need an affordable, time-bound solution for handoff and design-to-dev collaboration. These plans offer:

You will not be able to archives projects or styleguides on Basic plans.

Zeplin’s workspace-based Team, Organization, or Enterprise plans are recommended for businesses and organizations that want to standardize and scale best practices in design-dev workflows across many related projects, teams, or business units working async.

On Basic plans, you can add unlimited members to your projects. Everyone can upload designs, view specs and code snippets, and actively edit the information inside a project. This plan is best for time-bound, single-purpose projects with many active collaborators. If you need to restrict access by role or manage and organize work across several related projects, consider our workspace plans.

Team, Organization, or Enterprise plans allow you to add members with specific roles – like Reviewer, Developer, Editor, or Admin – to control access per member by function, team, or need. You can add unlimited Reviewers to your workspace free of charge. They can access and comment on all the information inside the workspace. See the roles table below.

Previously, you could add 5 members to your project on the Free plan. We’ve enhanced our Free plan by removing this user limit and adding all of the core features you need such as Version Diff, Flows, Approvals for flawless design delivery.

You can learn all the features that the Free plan offers here.

Previously, you could use Flows for 6 projects and Approvals for 1 project on the Team plan. We've removed these limits and added support for Azure Dev Ops integration.

Previously, you could use Flows for 12 projects and Approvals for 12 projects on the Organization plan. We've removed these limits and added support for Azure Dev Ops integration to help your entire organization move faster from design to development.

No. These plans address two different groups.

The Basic plans are ideal for individuals and small teams. They don't offer a centralized workspace where your teammates can benefit from the same structured documentation.

The Team and Organization plans are ideal for cross-functional product teams consistently shipping many related projects and products together.

Active projects are projects that you are currently working on. If you aren’t working on a project, you can archive it, and it won’t count against the total number of projects you purchased.

Yes! Simply add the Zeplin plugin to your Figma project to start publishing frames (or screens) to Zeplin immediately. Use Zeplin as your structured workspace to align on final designs, requirements, and user flows for a high-quality handoff experience for your developers.

We explained this in detail here.

When you upgrade to a higher-tier plan or add new members with paid seats on the Team or Organization plans, you’ll be billed for a prorated amount to cover the difference between your previous and current plans.
