The Verdict
FigJam is built for design teams and product teams, with a focus on sticky-notes and drawing-tools. Front targets customer facing teams and operations teams and leads with shared-inboxes and workflow-automation.
On pricing, FigJam is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $5/mo compared to $19/mo for Front. That $14/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
FigJam has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. Front requires a paid subscription from day one.
