Trello vs Figma

Side-by-side comparison of the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy of Trello and Figma.

Trello logo
Trello
Productivity
★★★☆☆
Mixed, business-oriented

The documents contain several user-protective features, but they are balanced by auto-renewal, broad liability limits, unilateral changes, and a strong business-contract framing that gives the customer/employer substantial control over data.

Trello is covered by Atlassian’s broader cloud agreement and privacy policy. The terms are fairly standard for a business productivity service: Atlassian can process customer data under a DPA, suspend access for policy or security issues, auto-renew subscriptions, and limit liability substantially. On the plus side, the agreement includes a 30-day return policy for initial orders, a stated security program, data retrieval guidance, and some privacy rights/choices—though much of the privacy posture is customer-controlled in employer-managed accounts.

Points of interest

  • negative ●●●●○ terms
    Auto-renews by default

    Subscriptions renew automatically unless you give notice before the term ends. That can lead to unwanted charges if you miss the cancellation window.

  • negative ●●●●○ terms
    Broad liability cap

    If something goes wrong, Atlassian’s liability is generally capped at the fees paid in the prior 12 months. That can leave limited recovery for outages, losses, or service failures.

  • positive ●●●●○ terms
    30-day return policy

    For an initial order, you can cancel within 30 days for any reason and get a refund. That gives new customers a meaningful trial-like exit option.

  • positive ●●●●○ terms
    Data deletion after termination

    After the agreement ends, Atlassian says it will delete customer data according to the documentation, unless law prevents it. That is a useful sign for cleanup and offboarding.

  • negative ●●●○○ terms
    One-sided terms changes

    Atlassian can modify the agreement by posting updates, sometimes during your current term. If you object, your main remedy is to terminate the affected subscription and get a refund for unused prepaid fees.

  • negative ●●●○○ terms
    No refund on cancellation

    You can terminate for convenience, but you generally will not get a refund except under the initial 30-day return policy. That makes mid-term cancellation financially costly.

  • negative ●●●○○ terms
    Customer responsible for users

    The customer is responsible for user compliance, user activity, and how users access customer data. In practice, account admins and employers carry much of the risk for misuse.

  • positive ●●●○○ terms
    Data retrieval documented

    The terms say the documentation explains how customers can retrieve their data from the cloud products. That supports portability and offboarding planning.

  • positive ●●●○○ terms
    Security program promised

    Atlassian says it maintains security measures and independent third-party audits/certifications. This does not eliminate risk, but it is a concrete security commitment.

  • positive ●●○○○ privacy
    Privacy choices available

    The privacy policy says you may object to certain uses and can access or update certain information. That suggests some user control over Atlassian-held personal data.

Figma
Productivity
★★★☆☆
Mixed, somewhat user-friendly

Figma offers meaningful privacy rights and keeps customer content ownership, but its terms include automatic renewal, nonrefundable fees, unilateral changes, broad dispute restrictions, and broad data sharing/advertising disclosures that reduce user control.

Figma’s terms are fairly standard for a collaborative design/productivity service, but they are contract-heavy and favor the company in disputes, billing, and account control. Users keep ownership of their content, and Figma says it uses content mainly to provide and secure the service. On the privacy side, Figma collects substantial account, usage, device, and collaboration data, shares data with service providers, organizations, and some advertising partners, and offers mainstream privacy rights including access, deletion, portability, and opt-outs.

Points of interest

  • negative ●●●●● terms
    Mandatory individual arbitration

    Most disputes must be resolved in binding arbitration rather than court, and class actions are waived. This can make it harder and more expensive for users to bring claims, especially small ones.

  • negative ●●●●○ terms
    Short opt-out window

    You can opt out of arbitration, but only within 30 days of first agreeing to the terms. Missing that deadline likely locks you into the arbitration process for future disputes.

  • negative ●●●●○ terms
    Automatic subscription renewal

    Paid subscriptions and AI credit subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before the current term ends. Users need to actively cancel to avoid being charged again.

  • negative ●●●●○ terms
    Fees mostly nonrefundable

    Figma says most fees are non-refundable and purchased quantities cannot be reduced during the term. That limits your ability to recover money if the service no longer fits your needs.

  • negative ●●●●○ terms
    Unilateral term changes

    Figma can modify these terms at any time, and continued use counts as acceptance. This creates ongoing risk that important rights or obligations may change without your active agreement.

  • negative ●●●●○ terms
    Service can be changed anytime

    Figma may add, remove, or discontinue features at its sole discretion without notice. Even paid users may see core functionality altered, though a refund or migration may apply if the service is discontinued.

  • negative ●●●●○ privacy
    Advertising and tracking partners

    Figma allows third-party advertising partners to use tracking tools for targeted ads, and it also uses cookies and analytics technologies. Users who care about ad tracking should expect to manage opt-outs across devices and browsers.

  • positive ●●●●○ terms
    Deletion export window

    After termination, Figma says it will make customer content available for electronic retrieval for 30 days. That gives users a limited but concrete window to download their files before deletion.

  • positive ●●●●○ privacy
    Privacy rights and portability

    Users can request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction/object, and opt-out of certain uses. Those rights are a meaningful control set, though deletion may require account deletion and identity verification.

  • neutral ●●●○○ terms
    Content ownership retained

    You keep ownership of your content, while Figma owns the service itself. This is a useful baseline for users who want to keep intellectual property in their own files and designs.

  • neutral ●●●○○ privacy
    Data shared with organizations

    If you use Figma through an employer or other organization, Figma may disclose your information to that organization and give it certain rights over your account. That is typical for enterprise collaboration, but it reduces personal privacy in managed accounts.

  • negative ●●○○○ terms
    Broad content use rights

    Figma and its service providers may use customer content to provide, secure, maintain, debug, and quality-check the service. That is narrower than a content ownership transfer, but still gives Figma operational access to your materials.
