Full access to the iLovePDF tools on Premium, web, mobile and desktop versions, digital signatures, workflows, 2,000 AI credits.
Before you pay
Free or Premium
The free Standard plan gives the main tools with limited processing, enough for the occasional merge or compression. Premium removes the limits and the ads and adds signatures, workflows and 2,000 AI credits. It is priced per user, from one to 25 people, and above that it moves to Enterprise on quote.
What a year costs
Premium is 9 € a month per user without commitment, 108 € over a year, or 60 € a year on yearly billing, which saves 48 €. A three-person team pays 324 € a year month to month or 180 € a year on yearly billing. For one person on a yearly plan it costs less than Smallpdf Pro at 90 € a year.
What we would check before paying
Whether VAT is included, which the cards do not say; whether you need signatures, since they are Premium only; and how much the free plan lets you process on the day you read it, as the page states a limit without a figure on the card.
The limits to know
- The free plan limits document processing
- Signatures and workflows need Premium
- Prices are shown without saying whether VAT is included

What remains unverified
- No workflow was run inside the product. Everything here comes from the vendor's documentation and public pages.
- Data handling and the privacy policy were not independently verified during this research cycle. We therefore publish no conclusion about security or where data is stored.
- Export terms and the real cost of leaving are not on this record: we have not tested them.
- The price has been read once only. A single observation says nothing about where the price is heading.
