Xodo is a web tool, a desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux, and phone apps, but each is sold on its own unless you buy the Document Suite. It edits, redacts, OCRs and compares, and the desktop editor can be bought outright. The free plan is 1 action a day, and the trial wants a card. - **Value for money: C.** Xodo Web is $7.99 a month on a yearly plan and the desktop editor $9.99, both normal for PDF editors. The full Suite is $14.99, or $8.99 for new yearly subscribers until Dec 31, 2026. The $240 perpetual license, spread over three years, is middling too. - **Free plan and trial: C.** There's a free plan, but it's 1 action a day on the web tools, barely a taste. The 3-day trial needs a payment method, and Xodo doesn't give refunds. - **Features: C.** Edits, compresses, redacts, OCRs, converts, compares two PDFs, checks PDF/A and even edits Word files, with AskPDF AI. A good spread. But no form builder is on record, and the web plan has no desktop app. - **Ease of use: C.** 4.35 from 1,703 App Store ratings, below most PDF apps here. And working out which of the separate products you need takes some reading first. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, as wide as it gets. But the only integration on record is Xodo Sign, so it stops at B. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Xodo's own pages on 18 October 2026, and its App Store rating.

The 3 things listed below take a company. 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 $95.88 a year. - You could not: Editing the text inside a PDF without breaking its layout. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## What people say - **App Store rating of the iPhone and iPad app:** 4.4 out of 5 from 1,703 ratings in the United States, read Oct 18, 2026.
