Spent $60 on a token system plugin and it actually fixed my component naming chaos

I bought a UI token management tool for my small team's design system, $60 a month. Within 3 days we stopped having six different shades of 'primary blue' floating around in Figma. Has anyone else found a paid tool that actually paid off for their system?

$60 a month is cheap if it stops the naming nightmare. Hard to put a price on not hunting down random hex codes.

Real truth right here. I've been burned by that exact thing - grabbing a color from an old brand guide, writing down "dark blue" and then spending three hours cross-referencing screenshots months later. $60 a month (or whatever it shakes out to) feels like a lot until you're tracking down which "navy" is actually #0A0B2C vs #12163A. Naming conventions are a total trap, they always fall apart when someone new joins the team and decides "coral" should be "sunset peach" or whatever. Having a central place where the hex codes just live and don't change saves so many headaches, especially when you're dealing with clients who swear their logo was "more magenta" last week.
