Pricing

Credits are the usage currency within pdfAssistant.

Every time you use the AI Assistant, process documents, or build/edit Workflows, Credits are consumed. This system gives you a simple, predictable way to understand exactly how much you’re using—and what it costs.

We’ve designed Credits to be simple and consistent:

• AI Assistant Messages
  Each message you send costs 16 Credits
  (applies in AI Studio and when building/editing Workflows)
• Document Processing
  Each processing step costs 20 Credits
  (e.g., merge, convert, extract text, fill form)
• Workflow Creation & Edits
  Creating or modifying a Workflow costs 32 Credits

For Workflows with multiple steps, you’re charged per step, not per document—so you always know what to expect.

There are two types of Credits in pdfAssistant:

• Monthly Credits: These are included with your subscription plan and refresh on your monthly renewal date. Monthly Credits are always consumed first and do not roll over to the next month. Renewal dates are shown on the Account Details page.
• Extra Credits: These can be purchased separately and are consumed only after your Monthly Credits have been used. Extra Credits do not expire; they remain in your account until used. They serve as a backup to ensure continuous, uninterrupted usage. We highly recommend purchasing Extra Credits to prevent any zero-balance interruptions while you're working. Volume discounts apply to Extra Credit purchases.

We offer five plans designed for different levels of usage:

• Starter (Free) — 400 Credits/month
  Great for trying things out. Includes preview mode (downloads require a paid plan).
• Plus — 1,000 Credits/month
  Ideal for regular use and light document workflows.
• Pro — 3,000 Credits/month
  Best for professionals handling higher volumes and repeatable workflows.
• Business — 10,000 Credits/month
  Designed for teams running large batch jobs with shared capacity.
• Enterprise — 30,000 Credits/month
  Built for the highest volumes, with the best value per credit.

Yes! The Starter plan is free forever and includes 400 monthly Credits.

You can explore features in preview mode, and upgrade when you’re ready to download results or scale your usage.

If you run out of Monthly Credits, any available Extra Credits will be consumed.

If you run out of both Monthly and Extra Credits, you have two options to continue using pdfAssistant:

1. Upgrade your subscription plan: Immediately access a higher monthly allotment of Credits and unlock more features.
2. Purchase additional Extra Credits: Top up your balance of Extra Credits and ensure uninterrupted usage. Extra credits are only available to Plus, Pro, and Enterprise subscribers.

If you upgrade your Subscription plan while you still have Monthly Credits remaining, your unused Monthly Credits will be converted into Extra Credits. Your new plan will be charged in full, and you will immediately have access to the full amount of your new plan's Monthly Credits plus your newly converted Extra Credits. Your renewal date will then be reset to the day of the upgrade.

Yes! You can save 30% by switching to Annual Billing on any paid plan. If you are upgrading from an existing monthly Subscription, any remaining Monthly Credits will be converted to Extra Credits, and you'll be charged the discounted annual price. You will continue to receive your Monthly Credit allotment, and your plan will renew on the new annual renewal date.

Unused Monthly Credits do not roll over; they reset to your plan's full allotment on your renewal date. Extra Credits, however, are perpetual and remain in your account until they are used, providing a flexible buffer for your usage.

No, there are no hidden fees with pdfAssistant. Our pricing is transparent, and you only pay for the monthly cost of your Subscription and/or any Extra Credits that you purchase.
