Flora vs Figma Weave (Weavy): which node canvas for your team?

Flora vs Weave: the short answer

Flora is the better fit for an agency or brand team that produces together and ships campaigns in batches; Figma Weave (formerly Weavy) is the better fit for a designer or studio that edits and composites images, especially one already working in Figma.

Both are node canvases: you wire AI models together like blocks, and one node's output feeds the next. On paper they look alike. The real gap is how you pay. Flora bills per seat ($18 to $200 a month) and draws from a shared dollar pool whose size it doesn't publish. Weave sells a fixed number of credits per plan ($24 to $100 a month, 30% less on annual) and tells you how many generations those credits buy, model by model.

Disclosure: you're reading this on the Imaginode blog. Imaginode is Frank Houbre's product and also a node canvas, so Flora and Weave are both direct competitors. We'll still say it plainly: for teams, each of them does things Imaginode doesn't.

Two node canvases built for different people

Flora targets agencies, fashion and advertising; Figma Weave, the former Weavy that Figma bought, targets designers and studios who need real editing tools in the middle of a workflow.

Flora (once called Flora Fauna) pitches itself as the creative workspace for the whole team. Its pricing page talks about seats, pooled usage and billing clients, and its menu now includes a Fashion Studio, a 3D node and a deck editor. Our Flora AI review covers it in depth.

Weave is Weavy under a new name after the Figma acquisition. It still lives on its own at weave.figma.com, with its own account and its own subscription. The homepage leads with an editing toolkit closer to compositing software than to a plain generator. The details are in our Figma Weave review.

One trap when you search "flora vs weave": half the results are about fabric and floral patterns. Most of the comparisons left are written by other canvas vendors, and some date from 2025, before this fall's pricing changes.

Side-by-side comparison

Everything in this table comes from the official pages, checked on October 23, 2026. Prices are in US dollars; Flora's exclude tax, and Weave's page doesn't say either way.

Pricing: seats at Flora, credits at Weave

Flora sells seats at $0, $18, $50 and $200 a month; Weave sells individual plans at $0, $24, $45 and $100 a month, plus a Team plan at $60 per user.

At Flora, every paid seat adds usage to a shared pool, and each generation is charged at the model's published rate. Pro, at $50, adds shared libraries and per-member usage caps. Max, at $200, adds three custom voices per organization. Quarterly billing takes 10% off, annual 20%. Enterprise starts at nine people.

At Weave, each plan comes with a fixed credit allowance: 1,500 on Starter, 4,000 on Professional, 10,000 on Max, 4,500 per user on Team. Billed annually, Starter drops to $17 a month ($202 a year) and Max to $70 ($840 a year). Until November 15, an annual Max plan also gets 25% off Seedance 2.5 through the end of the year. Per the FAQ, fees are non-refundable.

Our take: for one person, the entry gap ($18 vs $24) matters less than it looks. With Weave you know how many credits you're buying. With Flora you know what you pay, but not how many generations that gets you.

What does one generation cost on each?

Weave publishes how many generations each plan buys for each model; Flora publishes a single reference point, an average of $0.151 per Nano Banana 2 image, and doesn't say how many dollars a seat includes.

Weave's output table is the most useful thing on either page. Starter's 1,500 credits buy 1,500 GPT Image 2.5 images, 214 Nano Banana 2.1 images, 115 Seedance 2.5 videos, 122 Kling 3 videos, and just 3 Runway Aleph 2.0 runs. The table doesn't give video length or resolution, so treat these as ballpark figures.

Flora shows the dollar cost of every generation, by project and by member, which lets an agency bill clients straight from its usage history. But the amount included in a seat isn't on the pricing page or in the changelog. The free plan gives the only number to work from: 17 Nano Banana 2 images at $0.151 each, capped at $2.50.

Our own math, so take it carefully: on Weave Starter monthly, a credit costs 1.6 cents ($24 for 1,500), which puts a Nano Banana 2.1 image at about 11 cents. Flora's published average is 15 cents for Nano Banana 2. Those are different model versions, and Flora's average says nothing about resolution. On both tools, the model you pick moves the bill far more than the plan you pick.

Free plans: which one lets you actually try it?

Weave is more generous for images (150 credits every month, about 375 images by its own count); Flora gives up to 17 generations; neither unlocks video for free.

Weave's free plan renews monthly and includes a commercial license and 5 workflows, but no top-ups. Flora's gives one seat, three active projects, text and image models, and unlimited use of its FAUNA agent. On Flora, Batch, the Action node, real-time cursors and generation history all start at Starter.

So to judge video on either one, you'll pay for a month. If video is your main use, check Weave's output table and the rates of your go-to models on Flora first.

Teamwork: a shared pool or shared credits

Flora is built around the team from its first paid plan; Weave keeps sharing for its Team plan.

On Flora, the dollar pool is shared across the workspace from Starter: a teammate who generates little leaves room for one who generates a lot. Project sharing goes from view-only to editable on Starter, and real-time cursors come with it. Pro adds shared asset and Elements libraries, per-member spending caps and usage analytics. App Mode, which turns a workflow into a simple form, is personal on Starter and shared with the team from Pro up.

On Weave, the Team plan costs $60 per user per month ($42 billed annually) for 4,500 credits each, pooled, with one invoice, workspace file sharing and per-person credit allocation. The pricing page doesn't mention real-time cursors. We haven't checked it hands-on, so we won't claim it either way.

On the canvas: batch production or fine editing

Flora bets on volume (Batch Node, Elements, ready-to-run Techniques); Weave bets on editing inside the workflow (masks, depth, channels, relighting).

Flora's Batch Node runs one setup across dozens of variations at once, and Elements keeps a subject or a style locked from one generation to the next. For a product page in ten formats or a seasonal campaign, it's the one to reach for. Techniques, workflows made by the Flora team or by guest creatives, run as they are.

Weave's homepage lists crop, inpaint, outpaint, mask extraction, upscale, painter, channels, image describer, relight and Z depth extraction, plus layers and blend modes. It feels closer to post-production software. For a product shot that needs relighting, or a clean cutout before you animate it, Weave has the edge.

Figma, API and MCP: what each one plugs into

Weave is the only one connected to Figma; Flora is the only one that opens its API and MCP on its first paid plan.

On the Weave side, Weave tools run inside Figma Design: generate a mockup, transfer a style, replace a background, change the lighting, and more. According to Figma's help center, they require a Figma Professional, Organization or Enterprise plan and edit access to the file, and they use Figma AI credits, not Weave credits. Going the other way, the Figma node pulls a Figma frame into a Weave workflow. Keep in mind that Figma and Weave are still two separate subscriptions.

On the Flora side, API and MCP access come with Starter. Since changelog issue 086, dated October 22, 2026, a run started through the MCP shows up as a Flora canvas right inside Claude or ChatGPT. At Weave, running workflows through the API and bringing your own API keys are Enterprise features, and the pricing page doesn't mention MCP.

How fast each one ships

Flora publishes a numbered changelog every week, and issue 086 from October 22, 2026 is the latest; on Weave's side, the most recent visible changes are this fall's Max plan and the move into Figma in June.

Flora's issue 086 adds zoom in the deck editor, Markdown notes, exact video lengths, and Topaz and Magnific video upscales priced on the clip's real length. That last one matters: the price you see becomes the price you pay. There's also a long list of fixes, including runs that keep going when the connection drops.

Weave moves too, in bigger steps: the Figma rebrand, Weave tools announced on June 24, 2026, then the Max plan. Its pricing FAQ still answers "Not yet" when asked whether Weave connects to Figma, even though Figma's help center already documents Weave tools. The pricing page is simply behind.

Pick Flora if, pick Weave if

Pick Flora if you're an agency or brand team producing together, if you turn one setup into a whole campaign with the Batch Node, if you bill generation back to clients from dollar-level usage history, or if you want to drive the canvas from Claude or ChatGPT through MCP without an Enterprise contract.

Pick Weave if you're a designer or a studio and editing matters as much as generating, if your team already lives in Figma, or if you want to know up front how many generations your plan includes. Credit rollover on Professional, Team and Max (up to 3 or 4 times the monthly allowance) also makes Weave easier to live with when your workload swings from month to month.

If we had to choose: a three- or four-person crew doing mostly brand imagery should start on Flora Starter. A solo designer who edits a lot should start on Weave Starter, billed annually at $17 a month.

Where Imaginode fits

Imaginode, Frank's tool, is a third option for solo creators and classrooms who want the cost shown before every generation and video on every plan.

It's our product, so read this part with that in mind. Imaginode has no real-time cursors, no team plan and no Figma link, and its editing is simpler than Weave's. For working together, Flora and Weave are ahead.

What it does offer: Starter is $17 a month before tax for 900 credits, and every plan unlocks all 129 models, video included. Each node shows its credit cost before you run it, failed generations are refunded automatically, and top-up credits never expire. The free tier is the smallest of the three: your first 3 images, no card needed. Our Imaginode vs Flora and Imaginode vs Figma Weave pages go into detail, and our roundup of the best AI workflow tools puts all three in context, along with Magnific Spaces.
