Before You Switch From Figma

List the data you keep in Figma and confirm you can export all of it.
Check your renewal date and notice period before you commit, so you are not billed for another term.
Ask for a trial on your own data, not a demo account.
Run both tools side by side for one cycle before you cancel anything.
