Frequently asked questions

How many tools are in the PDF & Document Tools directory?

We list 41 products in 6 groups: PDF Editors, Online PDF Tools, Scanner & OCR, AI PDF Chat, Office Suites & Docs, Spreadsheets & Presentations. Each listing links to the vendor's own site, and we only call a product a pick in the guides where we show our reasoning and the date we checked prices.

Which PDF & Document Tools listings have a free plan?

None of the listings in this category advertise a free plan. Many vendors still offer a trial, so check each pricing page for the current terms.

Are the prices on this page current?

Treat them as a starting point. Vendors change plans, introductory discounts and renewal prices often, and a listing that says paid plans, see vendor has no verified starting price recorded. Confirm the price, billing period and renewal rate on the vendor's pricing page before you pay.
