Pricing
Planned launch pricing · locked in for early access
$0.003 per document, pay-as-you-go
500 documents/month free. After that, around $0.003 per document. No plans, no credits, no cliffs — the bill is your usage times a small number.
What that means at your volume
| Docs/month | NippyPDF (planned) | DocRaptor* | PDFShift* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 | $0 (free tier) | $29 (Professional) | $9 (Startup) |
| 1,250 | ~$2.25 | $75 (Premium) | $24 (Boost) |
| 5,000 | ~$13.50 | $149 (Max) | $24–39 |
| 25,000 | ~$73.50 | $399+ (Bronze) | $99 (Business) |

It is the planned launch pricing, published now for transparency while the product is pre-launch. Early-access signups lock it in: whatever you see here when you join the waitlist is what you pay at launch.
Are there per-size credits or overage tiers?
No. One document is one document — no credit multipliers for file size, no plan cliffs, no overage rates. The free tier covers your first 500 documents each month; beyond that you pay about $0.003 each.

One successful POST /v1/pdf response, regardless of page count or file size. Failed renders are not billed.
