Completely free · 3 shared tested task edges Aconvert (aconvert.com)

All conversion and compression features are 100% free with ad and voluntary donation support; 40MB per-file limit (up to 10 files per batch) with zero paid plans or paywalls.

Free tier + subscription · 2 shared tested task edges TinyWow (tinywow.com)

Monthly and annual modes confirm annual bills USD 72 / 180. Current PDF Unlimited and all-tool TinyWow Unlimited replace the historical Supporter description. Other single-category subscriptions do not include PDF. Numeric free limits and cancellation terms remain unspecified.

Completely free · 2 shared tested task edges 11zon (11zon.com)

The official tool page states free, unlimited conversion. Numeric size and page limits are not published; the claim is not a guarantee for arbitrary files.

Subscription + credits · 2 shared tested task edges CloudConvert (cloudconvert.com)

Confirmed 75 package and 73 monthly subscription capacities; subscriptions start at 1,000 credits. The table says 10 free credits/day while the footer says 10 conversions/day; this conflict does not establish 10 PDFs. PDF-to-Office has a 4-credit base and longer processing incurs more, replacing the historical mixed minutes/count description.
