PDFeather is being built in the open and has not launched yet. Everything below has actually shipped. There are no planned items on this page.

Packages replace credits
Credits are gone. You now buy a package: a number of documents plus the add-ons that come with it. Nothing about the prices changed, and one document buys exactly what one credit bought. The word was the problem: a credit reads as a currency you hold, which is the stored-value framing this product has spent two releases getting out of. A document is a piece of work we owe you.
- Feather 100 documents, Quill 300, Wing 700, Flight 2,000, at the same prices as before: ten times the quantity, because a dollar per PDF was never a real API price
- Add-ons ride with the package instead of coming out of the pool: template slots, priority renders and how long an async result is kept
- Template slots are an entitlement now, not a 10-credit purchase; priority rendering is included by tier rather than charged per render
- Operations still cost what they cost: a render 1 document, OCR 2, an e-signature request 3, watermark removal 2
- Documents still never expire, and the 14-day pro-rata refund works exactly as it did
- The free monthly allowance is finally smaller than the cheapest package: 25 free against 100 bought, where it used to be 25 against 10
- Every published price point is now a package in its own right, not just a mark on a scale: 75 of them from $0.99 for 10 documents up to $169.95 for 2,900, priced off one curve that passes exactly through the four named tiers
- A calculator on the pricing page shows what any price buys, documents and add-ons together
- Concurrent renders added as a fourth add-on, which is what separates the paired price points: the nine .95/.99 pairs sit four cents apart and buy the same documents, so the dearer half now carries more parallelism

Company identifiers on every page, and the site opens for business
A merchant website is expected to display the business address, registration number and tax identification number, alongside a refund policy, privacy policy and terms of service: buyers read them, and so does every payment provider that reviews a site before granting a capability. All six are now visible on every page, and the beta copy is gone because the product can be bought.
- Footer carries the legal name, full address, Wyoming SOS filing ID and EIN on every page, plus a Refunds & returns link
- Company details all come from src/lib/company.ts, so the footer, contact page and five policies cannot diverge
- Homepage FAQ moved to native <details>, so every answer is in the served HTML instead of appearing only after a click
- Pricing page lists every package in USD, EUR and PLN without touching the currency switcher
- Price slider now carries the full list of standard price points, from 0.99 upwards, so the cheap end of the scale is visible
- Early-access copy replaced across the homepage, navigation, sign-in, sign-up, status and pricing pages
fixedv0.6.122 September 2026
Legal documents corrected
Editorial only. No right, obligation, price, operation rate or refund window changed; the documents say what they were always meant to say.
- Tax identification number added beside the registration number in the Terms, Privacy Policy and Refund Policy
- Ten cross-references corrected, seven of them in the Acceptable Use Policy and SLA, left one section too high when subscriptions were removed
- Terms section 2 now says four documents form part of the agreement, because four are listed
- Repaired a run-on in Terms section 11, a dropped negation in Privacy section 2, and duplicated words in Terms section 25
- GDPR Article 27 placeholder in Privacy section 13 replaced with our position on the Article 27(2) exemption
- Refund Policy now shows a version number, like the other four documents
changedv0.6.019 September 2026
Credits are units, not dollars
The prepaid balance is gone. Credits are now a count of operations rather than a dollar figure, which takes the product out of stored-value territory and simplifies everything that touched it.
- Packs grant credits: Feather 10, Quill 30, Wing 70, Flight 200, from $9.99
- One credit is one render; OCR costs 2, an e-signature request 3, a template slot 10
- Automatic top-up removed, along with the negative-option obligations it carried
- Custom dollar amounts removed; bigger packs carry the discount instead of a bonus
- Payment methods listed explicitly, with buy-now-pay-later and credit terms ruled out
changedv0.5.019 September 2026
Subscriptions removed: prepaid credit only
The plans announced a day earlier are gone before a single one was ever sold. PDFeather now has exactly one commercial model: a free monthly allowance, then packs of credits bought once and spent whenever you like.
- Starter, Pro, Business and Scale plans withdrawn, along with monthly and yearly billing
- Overage withdrawn with them: a render is $0.99 whether it is your first this month or your ten-thousandth
- 25 documents a month stay free, as an allowance rather than a plan: nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel
- Terms, Refund Policy and SLA rewritten around prepaid credit; SLA credits are now paid onto your balance
changedv0.4.018 September 2026
Pricing moved to standard price points
Subscriptions and multi-document packs now sit on the price points this market actually uses, instead of round numbers.
- Starter $9.99, Pro $29.99, Business $69.99, Scale $119.99 per month
- Batch packs $19.99 and $59.99; template slot $11.99; watermark removal $1.99
- Top-up packages stay at $10, $25, $50 and $120, because those are amounts you load onto a balance rather than shelf prices
- Overage stays at $0.79 per document, and single operations stay at $0.99
changedv0.3.028 August 2026
Static site build
The marketing site now builds to a self-contained folder of HTML, CSS and JavaScript that runs on any static host with no server behind it.
- Full API reference published at /docs: endpoints, options, webhooks, error codes
- Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Refund Policy written and linked from the footer
- Cache and security headers shipped with the build for Cloudflare
- Local preview server that resolves URLs the way the CDN does, so what you test is what you upload
addedv0.2.026 August 2026

- Hero with a live HTML-to-preview playground that runs entirely in the browser
- Pricing page with monthly and yearly billing, prepaid packages and the full à la carte catalogue
- Code examples for cURL, Node.js, Python, PHP and Go with one-click copy
- Lighthouse 100 across performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO on both pages
addedv0.1.026 August 2026
Foundations
Project scaffold and the visual language everything else is built on.
- Design tokens, dark and light themes with a remembered preference
- Typography, grain layer, ink gradient and the motion vocabulary
- Every decorative animation disabled under prefers-reduced-motion
