Papeeria vs Typst (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Papeeria if

• Fits if you write a thesis or paper in LaTeX and want it in the browser
• Works for students who share public projects with classmates

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free: one active private project and 24 hours of file history
• Watch out: the pricing page says "starts from $5" and gives no billing period
• Pricey if you need more private projects, as Delta adds up to 10 and extra quota costs more, with no price shown
• Not for you if you want an app: only a browser version is listed

Pick Typst if

• Fits if you want an alternative to LaTeX for papers and theses
• Works for co-authors editing a technical document together in a browser, which the free plan allows

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you don't want to learn a markup language, because that's how every document is written
• Tight if you're staying free with big projects, as it's 200 MB of storage and 100 files per project, with no comments or folders
• Not for you if you want to host the web app yourself: it's closed source, and that needs the custom-priced On-Premises plan from 5 members
• Watch out: GitHub and GitLab sync and private packages are labeled experimental, and Zotero sync needs Pro
• Not for you if you want a phone app, as none is listed, and the free compiler on its own is command line

Papeeria

• The free plan allows only one active private project.
• The pricing page shows only a 'starts from $5/month' figure and does not state a billing period.
• Delta can add more private-project quota for purchase, but prices for that are not shown.

Typst

• The Free plan is limited to 200 MB of storage and 100 files per project, and leaves out comments, folders and reference-manager sync.
• Only the compiler is open source; the web app is closed source, and hosting it yourself needs the custom-priced On-Premises plan.
• Documents use Typst's own markup language. The web app converts files from LaTeX, Word and Markdown.
• GitHub and GitLab sync and private packages are labeled experimental on the pricing page.

Papeeria

LaTeX and Markdown

Write pure LaTeX or mix it with Markdown, with background auto-compilation on the Delta plan.

Real-time collaboration

Edit together, with margin discussions, autocompletion, a spellchecker and an instant math previewer.

Plot builder

Build simple plots in the browser; gnuplot integration is part of Delta.

Template gallery

Start from templates such as a CV, an ACM journal paper or a math-heavy presentation.

Git, Dropbox and Google Drive sync

Git sync is on both plans (private repositories on Delta); Dropbox and Google Drive sync is Delta only.

Typst

Markup with automatic formatting

Documents are written as structured markup and laid out automatically, then exported as a PDF, an image or, in preview, a website.

Collaborative web app

The browser editor adds shared editing, autocomplete and a live preview. Sharing and collaboration are part of the Free plan; comment threads need Pro.

Templates and packages

Projects can start from community templates and import community packages. Pro adds private packages and templates limited to a workspace.

Math, tables and bibliographies

Equations are built into the markup, tables can be filled from CSV or JSON, and citations are formatted automatically, with Zotero and Mendeley sync on Pro.

Scripting and data loading

Conditionals, loops and functions are embedded in the language, so a document or a batch of invoices can be generated from a JSON file.

Open-source compiler

The command-line compiler is a free download for Windows, macOS and Linux, can run on a server, and can be embedded in other apps as a library.
