Boost Packs vs. pay-as-you-go
PDFMonkey offers two ways to handle overage. They are mutually exclusive: you must choose one or the other.
| Boost Packs | Pay-as-you-go | |
|---|---|---|
| Billing | One-time, upfront charge | Automatic, per-document charge |
| Pricing | 5 EUR per 1,000 documents (0.005 EUR/doc) | 0.005–0.008 EUR per document (varies by plan) |
| Minimum purchase | 1,000 documents (1 pack) | None (billed per document used) |
| Availability | All paid plans | All paid plans |
| Action needed | Manual purchase in Dashboard | None (automatic once enabled) |
| Best for | Predictable overage with a fixed budget | Unpredictable volume with no upfront commitment |
Credit consumption order
When you generate a document, PDFMonkey draws from your credits in this order:
- Monthly plan quota is consumed first.
- Boost Pack credits are consumed next, once your plan quota is fully depleted.
As long as your plan quota has remaining credits, your Boost Pack balance stays untouched.
How to buy Boost Packs
- Open your Dashboard and go to the Billing section.
- Scroll down to the Boost Packs area.
- Use the + and - buttons to select the number of packs you need (each pack is 1,000 documents).
- Check the agreement box to confirm the charge amount and terms.
- Click Give me a Boost Pack (or Give me X Boost Packs for multiple).
The purchase is charged immediately to your default payment method on file. Credits are added to your account as soon as the payment succeeds.
Expiry
Boost Pack credits expire at the end of your current billing cycle. When your subscription renews, any unused Boost Pack credits are reset to zero and your quota reverts to your plan’s base allowance.
If you need credits that persist across billing cycles, consider upgrading to a higher plan tier instead.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Boost Packs on the Free plan?
No. Boost Packs require an active paid subscription (Starter, Pro, Pro+, or Premium). Upgrade your plan first.
Do unused Boost Pack credits roll over to the next billing cycle?
No. Unused credits are reset to zero when your subscription renews. Buy Boost Packs only when you need them within the current cycle.
Can I get a refund for unused Boost Pack credits?
No. Boost Packs are non-refundable.
Are Boost Pack credits shared across Workspaces?
Boost Pack credits are tied to the Workspaces you own and increase the document quota for those Workspaces. They do not apply to Workspaces owned by other accounts that you have been invited to.
What happens if my payment method fails?
The purchase is not completed and no credits are added. Update your payment method in the Billing section of the Dashboard and try again.
