Pricing

Credits are the currency used within pdfAssistant to perform various tasks. As you interact with the assistant and execute document processing steps, such as merging, converting, or extracting text from PDFs, credits are consumed. This flexible system ensures you only pay for what you use, providing cost-effective and tailored solutions for your document needs.

Credits are deducted from your balance based on your interaction with pdfAssistant and the number and complexity of processing steps. For instance, a simple task like merging PDFs might cost fewer credits than a multi-step task, such as converting a document, adding a watermark, and then encrypting it. The longer the responses from pdfAssistant and the more steps you ask it to tackle, the more credits it will require.

The number of credits used depends on two main factors:

• Complexity of the Task: Simple tasks, like merging PDFs, require fewer credits than complex workflows with multiple steps. For example, converting a document, adding a watermark, and then encrypting it will use more credits than just converting the document.

• Length of AI Responses: Longer responses generated by pdfAssistant may consume slightly more credits due to the additional processing power required.

In simpler terms:

• Quick and easy tasks cost less.
• Tasks with many steps or involving complex AI generation cost more.

Examples of Credit Usage:

• Ask a Question: Ask pdfAssistant to explain what a PDF/X file is used for. Estimated Credits: 20-40
• Simple Task: Merge 2 PDFs together. Estimated Credits: 40-60
• Complex Task with Multiple Steps: Convert 3 Word docs to PDF then merge these together and password-protect the result. Estimated Credits: 90-150
• Content Generation: Generate AI content to create a new PDF report from scratch. Estimated Credits: 60-120

These are just a few examples of how you might use credits in pdfAssistant. Actual credit usage may vary depending on the complexity of your tasks. This flexible credit system ensures you only use credits based on the actual processing required.
