Pricing page: smallpdf.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Pro $15/mo and Team $12/user/mo come from third-party listings (Capterra, Pulse Signal, TemperStack) that agree, because the vendor pricing page renders prices in JavaScript and the Wayback copy could not be retrieved; Capterra and TemperStack failed direct fetch (403, 404), so those figures rest on search-result summaries. A Softwaresuggest $6/mo Pro figure conflicts and was not used, and the Business and Premium columns on the vendor table were not priced.
