How our pricing actually works
Most PDF services price on a per-seat licence and then meter almost everything behind it. We took a different route because the majority of PDF work is bursty: you need nothing for three weeks, then you need to merge, compress and sign forty documents in one afternoon. A plan that punishes that afternoon is the wrong plan.
So the free tier is a real working tier, not a demo. Every essential tool — merge, split, compress, rotate, crop, watermark, page numbers, JPG to PDF, PDF to JPG, form filling and signing — runs in your browser without an account, with a fair-use ceiling of 10 documents a day. Nothing is watermarked, nothing is downgraded in quality, and there is no forced sign-up before you can see the output.
Premium exists for the two things that genuinely cost us money: large-scale AI inference and server-side rendering. Summarising a 300-page report, translating a contract while preserving structure, narrating a document, running clause-level contract analysis and rendering Office files with correct fonts all consume compute we pay for per request. Charging for those and giving the rest away is the only version of this business that is honest about its own cost structure.
What "unlimited" means here
Unlimited means no per-document counters and no credit packs to top up. It does not mean an uncapped firehose for automated scripts: we apply reasonable abuse protection against traffic that is clearly not a human working through documents. In practice, no ordinary professional workload has come close to that line. If yours does, tell us what you are doing and we will work out a sensible arrangement rather than silently throttling you.
Before you pay: two free premium runs
You get two premium tool runs with no account at all, so you can judge the output on your own documents before deciding anything. Create a free account and that becomes five premium runs a month, indefinitely. We would rather you test AI Analyst on a real report and walk away unimpressed than subscribe on the strength of a marketing page.
Billing, currency and cancellation
- Payments are processed by Paddle, which acts as merchant of record. Your statement will show Paddle, not PDFalot, and Paddle handles VAT and sales tax where it applies.
- Prices are quoted in US dollars. Your bank converts at its own rate; local payment methods appear at checkout where Paddle supports them.
- Annual billing is a single charge of $40 and works out at $3.33 a month. Monthly billing is $4 and can be cancelled at any point before the next renewal.
- Cancelling stops the next renewal and leaves your access intact until the end of the paid period. There is no cancellation fee and no retention maze — it is a button in your account.
- Refunds are handled under our published refund policy rather than case-by-case discretion.
Pricing questions we get asked
Do I need an account to use the free tools?
No. The essential tools run in your browser and require no sign-in. An account only becomes relevant when you want saved invoice settings, premium trial runs, or a subscription.
Is my document uploaded to your servers on the free tier?
For the essential tools, no — merging, splitting, compressing, rotating and similar operations execute locally in your browser, so the file never leaves your device. AI tools necessarily send document text to our AI infrastructure to produce a result; that path is described in the Privacy Notice.
What happens when I hit the 10-a-day free limit?
The counter resets the next day. Nothing you have already produced is taken away, and no file is held hostage behind an upgrade prompt.
Can I switch between monthly and annual?
Yes. Switching is handled through your account and Paddle prorates the difference automatically.
Do you offer team or education pricing?
Not as a self-serve plan yet. If you need several seats or a departmental arrangement, contact us and we will quote something sensible rather than multiplying the single-seat price.
