Plans & historical pricing
PDF2Go USD single-user plans and education eligibility plan · 2026-10-20
8 plan / billing-period records, all listed; — means that period is not recorded.
The annual view explicitly shows full-year USD 77/278/854; old monthly equivalents are not extrapolated. Paid plans use shared credits without full PDF credit rules here, so no file-count conversion is made.
Verification has gaps; unknown prices and quotas are not inferred.
Cancellation, sources & verification record
The page states cancel anytime and a 14-day money-back guarantee; eligibility is subject to official refund terms.
