API pricing

Free tools. Fair credits.

Every browser tool stays free, forever. The E-Signer and the Legal (stamp-paper) tool are paid features — $10/mo each, or $15/mo together. When you need the API in your own product, pick a plan — monthly, or yearly with two months free on exactly the same credits. Priced under the big names, and unused credits roll over.

Yearly = 2 months free · unused credits roll over, never expiring · cancel anytime

Subscriptions — E-Sign, Legal & Team

Two premium tools sit on top of the free editor. E-Signer is a full contract desk; Legal is the stamp-paper tool inside the editor. Each is $10/mo — or take the special combo and get both for $15/mo. Running a team? The Team plan gives both tools to up to 10 people with one invoice, plus shared documents, roles, retention rules and renewal alerts. Yearly billing costs ten months: two months free. For reference, Adobe Acrobat Pro is US$19.99/mo on its annual plan, and signature requests are sold alongside it.

What a credit buys

1 credit GET /v1/me — your account, plan and live balance
5 credits POST /v1/redact-pdf or /v1/compare-pdf — one headless PDF job
10,000 credits Included with Starter — unused credits roll over, never expire
Browser-only E-Signer and the rest of the toolkit are not API endpoints

Credits only pay for API calls. Every browser tool — and everything else on this site — stays free.

API costs — live endpoints

Only the three routes that exist are listed. GET /v1/me costs 1 credit; Redact and Compare cost 5 each. E-Signer and the other browser tools are not API endpoints — they need the browser UI, so they are not billed here.

ToolCredits Billed
Account
GET /v1/me — account, plan & credits 1 per call
Headless PDF
POST /v1/redact-pdf — find or apply redactions 5 per call
POST /v1/compare-pdf — compare two PDFs 5 per call

These are the live API rates only. The full endpoint list — and the browser-only E-Signer boundary — is on the API page.

Cheaper than the big-name APIs — and no expiry

The leading PDF API sells credits two ways: a monthly subscription (cheaper per credit, but unused credits burn every month) or prepaid packs (they keep, but cost more). We skip the trade-off — monthly or yearly, priced under both, and unused credits roll over instead of burning.

Credits The leading PDF API Rifinit
10,000 $38/mo — expires monthly ($52 prepaid) $30/mo — or $25/mo billed yearly
30,000 $98/mo — expires monthly $60/mo — or $50/mo billed yearly
100,000 $329/mo — expires monthly ($440 prepaid) $150/mo — or $125/mo billed yearly

Their published credit pricing, October 2026. Per 1,000 credits we charge $3.00 / $2.00 / $1.50 monthly — $2.50 / $1.67 / $1.25 billed yearly — against their $3.80 ($5.20 prepaid). Their subscription credits are consumed every month; ours roll over, so nothing you pay for is lost.

Questions, answered

Do credits expire?

No. Credits roll over month to month and stay in your balance until you use them — on monthly and yearly billing alike. Cancel any time; nothing you've paid for is taken back.

How do I get my API key?

Buy a plan and the moment the payment is verified the Commercial plan activates on your account — then create your key in My Account. One key runs at a time; your plan sets how many you can create.

What does an API call cost?

GET /v1/me costs 1 credit. Redact and Compare cost 5 credits each. E-Signer and the browser tools are not API endpoints; they need the browser UI. Only live routes are listed on the API page.

Do I need credits for the browser tools?

No. Every browser tool — edit, merge, split, compress, OCR — stays free forever. Credits only pay for API calls.

What happens when my credits run out?

Top up by hopping to the next plan — balances add up, and mixing plans is fine. Nothing changes on your account until you choose to buy.

Can I get an invoice or a custom plan?

Yes. Payments are invoiced, and larger volumes are shaped with you directly — preview the API and apply for a key, or write to the team.

Ready when you are

Start on the free plan today — pick a monthly or yearly plan the day a project needs the API. That is the whole idea.
