Predictable pricing at any scale

DocSpring uses prepaid credits. The free Developer plan includes 200 credits every month, enough for 10 filled PDF forms, and paid plans include a larger monthly allowance whose unused credits roll over for 12 months. A filled PDF form costs 20 credits, a PDF from an HTML template or a page design 4, a Word document 20 whatever its length, as a Word document, a PDF or both, and each signer asked to sign or initial on a signature request adds 60 to the PDF's cost. A signature request with nothing to sign adds nothing. Longer documents cost more, and keeping documents for more than 30 days costs 1 credit a month per 50 documents or 50 MiB, whichever is more. Watermarked test documents are free, but combining PDFs always uses credits. If you need more credits, you can buy a credit pack or turn on automatic top-up. See what each document costs on every plan.

Yes. The Developer plan is free, with 200 credits every month, and you can try any paid plan's features free for 14 days. A trial uses the free plan's credits: subscribe at any time to get your plan's monthly credits. No credit card is required.

Live PDFs wait for credits and are processed automatically when you add them. The API returns HTTP 402, with the submission in the insufficient_credits state. Anything still waiting after 30 days isn't processed. Test PDFs keep working. Turn on automatic top-up to buy a credit pack whenever your balance runs low, with an optional monthly spending cap.

No. Live signature requests work on every plan once your account has made a payment, such as a credit pack. You can embed signing in your own app and send your own emails, or DocSpring can email your signers for you, from its own address as "Acme via DocSpring". On Growth and Scale, those emails come from your own domain and link to your own signing page.

Yes. Credits from a paid plan roll over and stay available for 12 months, and credit packs last 12 months from the day you buy them, so a quiet month or a seasonal project doesn't waste what you've paid for. We always use the credits that expire soonest first, and we email you a month before paid credits expire. Free Developer plan credits reset each month instead.

Credits need an end date because unused credits are payments for work we haven't done yet. A balance that could sit forever would never settle in our accounts, and it would let anyone stock up years ahead at today's prices. Twelve months is a common window for prepaid usage credits, and long enough for most projects.
