## Ways to pay less

- **Lower price with annual billing** (Annual discount): pdfFiller lists Basic at $8 a month billed annually against $20 monthly, Plus at $12 against $30 and Premium at $15 against $40. Source: https://www.pdffiller.com/en/services.htm

## Key features

- **Edit and rewrite text:** Add text, images, highlights, tables and watermarks on every plan; from Plus, rewrite existing text and permanently redact.
- **Fillable forms and templates:** Plus builds fillable forms and reusable templates, and Premium collects payments through Stripe and data through online forms.
- **Form library:** Over a million ready-to-use templates on every plan, and Premium adds the US Legal Forms library of state-specific legal forms.
- **Signature requests:** Plus sends documents for signature with tracking and reminders; Premium adds signNow signing order, bulk sending and stronger security.
- **Send by fax or mail:** Export by download, email, print, fax, USPS mail or secure link, and receive faxes at a dedicated number for an extra monthly fee.
- **Integrations and extensions:** Connects to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Box, works inside Gmail, Chrome and Firefox, and automates work through Zapier.

## Good for

- People who fill in and sign government, tax or legal forms
- Small businesses that send forms and collect signatures and payments
- Anyone who needs to fax or mail a document without a fax machine

## Worth knowing

- Month-to-month billing costs more than double the annual price on every plan.
- Rewriting existing text, redaction, fillable forms and signature requests need Plus or Premium.
- Receiving faxes costs extra: $19.99 a month on Basic, $14.99 on Plus and $9.99 on Premium.
- The enterprise plans need at least 20 users for Basic or 10 for Premium, on an annual commitment.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. pdfFiller is a web tool with phone apps and browser add-ons, built around forms: fill them, build them, send them to sign, even fax or post them. There are over a million ready-made forms. But rewriting existing text needs Plus at $12 a month on a yearly plan, and paying monthly costs more than double.

- **Value for money: C.** Rewriting existing text needs Plus, $12 a month on a yearly plan or $30 month to month. That's the dear end of normal for PDF editors. Basic at $8 only adds text on top, and receiving faxes costs extra.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but a 30-day free trial, which is longer than most. After that you pay.
- **Features: C.** Builds fillable forms and templates, sends for signature, takes payments on Premium, and faxes or posts documents, which no other editor here lists. But no OCR for scans is on record, so it's a forms tool more than a full editor.
- **Ease of use: C.** 4.46 from 9,099 App Store ratings, just under the line for a B. And building templates and forms is real setting up before it pays off.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone, Android and add-ons for Chrome, Firefox and Gmail, with Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, Zapier and Stripe. No desktop app, which keeps it off the top grade.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of pdfFiller you could make: forms and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 11 of the 15 other PDF editors grade higher. It costs $96 a year.

- You could make: Forms and templates: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Editing the text inside a PDF without breaking its layout.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive among them.
