Longer documents cost more. Each 10 pages is one unit, so a 25-page filled PDF form is 3 units, 60 credits. Very large files and long processing count as extra units too.
Prices are each option's monthly price or pack price divided by its credits. MiB means 1,048,576 bytes. Input size and processing time apply where they are measured; memory is not charged.
Request limits are shared across all API keys and IP addresses on your account, separately for live and test requests. How request limits work
Perfect for seasonal spikes, or for topping up a subscription. Purchased credits last 12 months, and we spend credits with the earliest expiry first.
Credit packs work on every plan, including free Developer. They add credits without changing your request limits or support level. Turn on automatic top-up to buy a pack whenever your balance runs low, with an optional monthly spending cap.
Registered nonprofits and charities can get the Starter plan free.
DocSpring uses prepaid credits. The free Developer plan includes 200 credits every month, enough for 10 filled PDF forms, and paid plans include a larger monthly allowance whose unused credits roll over for 12 months. A filled PDF form costs 20 credits, a PDF from an HTML template 4, and each signer asked to sign or initial a data request adds 60 to the PDF's cost. Data requests that only collect values add nothing. Longer documents cost more, and keeping PDFs for more than 30 days costs 1 credit a month per 50 PDFs or 50 MiB, whichever is more. Watermarked test PDFs are free, but combining PDFs always uses credits. If you need more credits, you can buy a credit pack or turn on automatic top-up. See what each PDF costs on every plan.
Yes. The Developer plan is free, with 200 credits every month, and you can try any paid plan's features free for 14 days. A trial uses the free plan's credits: subscribe at any time to get your plan's monthly credits. No credit card is required.
Live PDFs wait for credits and are processed automatically when you add them. The API returns HTTP 402, with the submission in the insufficient_credits state. Anything still waiting after 30 days isn't processed. Test PDFs keep working. Turn on automatic top-up to buy a credit pack whenever your balance runs low, with an optional monthly spending cap.
Yes. Credits from a paid plan roll over and stay available for 12 months, and credit packs last 12 months from the day you buy them, so a quiet month or a seasonal project doesn't waste what you've paid for. We always use the credits that expire soonest first, and we email you a month before paid credits expire. Free Developer plan credits reset each month instead.
Credits need an end date because unused credits are payments for work we haven't done yet. A balance that could sit forever would never settle in our accounts, and it would let anyone stock up years ahead at today's prices. Twelve months is a common window for prepaid usage credits, and long enough for most projects.
Yes. Registered nonprofits and charities can use our Starter plan free. See who qualifies and how to apply.
DocSpring has been the PDF engine at the core of iENROLL for more than five years, and we couldn’t be happier. Of all the solutions we evaluated, it was the most capable and had the richest API, and it has only gotten better with each release. But what has made the biggest difference is the team. They go well beyond support. They’ve built a real relationship with us and are invested in our product’s continued success.
DocSpring's simple API and client library was fast to integrate, flexible to our needs, and well documented. Using your service has allowed Harvust to iterate faster and deliver the best product to our growers.
DocSpring has been great! We had to do a lot more PDF template iterations than we originally planned, and being able to do those from your interface was a lifesaver. When a PDF fails because we didn’t send the right payload, the detailed error messages you provide have been very helpful.
I spent a good two days trying to integrate with one of your competitors, and came away frustrated because it still wasn’t working. I was up and running with DocSpring in thirty minutes.
