What iLovePDF costs

  • 1 user: $9/mo (Premium at $9 per month on monthly billing, from the official pricing page. Basic fails the scenario: its 15 MB cap on PDF to Word and PDF Forms is below the 25 MB files needed. Annotation is not in the pricing table; the vendor how-to lists comments, markup, text boxes and drawing on web. In-place rewriting of existing text is confirmed only in the mobile app Content Editor (vendor blog), not on web. Watermark not stated.)
  • 10 users: $90/mo (Premium is the only self-serve plan that seats 10 (1 to 25 users); Business starts at 25 and is contact-sales only. The FAQ says adding or removing licenses adjusts the price, so this treats the $9 figure as a per-user rate: 10 x $9 = $90 per month at list. The page does not label the rate per user and publishes no volume-discount tiers, so the true figure may be lower. Third-party calculators disagree (TemperStack $50 a month at $5 per user; ToolRadar a flat $60 a year).)

Plan compared: Premium, monthly billing, 1 user. Prices are USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12) for subscription plans; one-time licenses are not compared. The headline is one user on the cheapest plan that can edit existing PDF text, convert, organise pages and fill and sign forms without free-tier limits; we also price a 10-person team plan with central seat management.

Pricing page: ilovepdf.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Premium $9/mo monthly and $5/mo annual come from the official pricing page, which captured a connection-error notice, so re-check the live page. Team10 is an estimate: the FAQ implies per-license pricing, but no per-user rate is published and third-party listings conflict; older $7/mo and $48/yr figures may describe the desktop app, so no price change is recorded.
