Plan details
Free
The Free plan gives you 20 documents per month with a 30-second generation time limit. It is a good fit for testing PDFMonkey before committing to a paid plan. External resources (web fonts, remote images) are not available on this tier.
Starter
The Starter plan raises your quota to 300 documents per month and unlocks external resources. If you generate a small volume of documents and do not need team collaboration, Starter covers the basics.
Pro
The Pro plan supports up to 3,000 documents per month with 7-day document retention and a 2-minute generation time limit. You can invite one additional team member, bringing the total to two seats.
Pro+
The Pro+ plan provides 5,000 documents per month with unlimited document retention, unlimited team members, share links, and a 3-minute generation time limit.
Premium
The Premium plan handles up to 60,000 documents per month with all the features of Pro+, plus a 5-minute generation time limit.
Annual billing
All paid plans offer a 10% discount when you choose yearly billing. You can switch between monthly and annual billing at any time from the Dashboard. Check pdfmonkey.io/pricing for exact annual prices.
Reaching your quota
When you reach 80% of your monthly quota, PDFMonkey sends you a warning email. At 100%, new generation requests are blocked and documents are set to draft status. You are not charged for blocked generations.
Your quota resets automatically at the start of each billing cycle. If you need more documents before the reset, you have three options:
- Upgrade your plan: move to a higher tier for a larger monthly quota. See Changing My Plan.
- Buy a Boost Pack: purchase a one-time block of extra document credits. See Boost Packs.
- Enable pay-as-you-go: get billed automatically for each document beyond your quota (all paid plans). See Pay-As-You-Go.
Custom plans
If you need more than 60,000 documents per month, contact us to discuss a custom plan tailored to your volume.

Can I generate images as well as PDFs?
Yes. All plans support PDF, PNG, WebP, and JPG output. See Output Format for details.
Do unused documents roll over to the next month?
No. Your monthly quota resets to zero at the start of each billing cycle. Unused documents do not accumulate.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new account gets a 30-day Pro trial with 300 documents, external resources, and a 2-minute generation time limit. When the trial ends, your account moves to the Free plan automatically.
