UPDF also offers an AI assistant to chat with PDFs and get assistance in consuming complex documents. However, the AI features require a separate purchase, but we offer a free trial allowing users to:

  • Upload 5 PDFs
  • Ask 100 questions

For more details on the AI free trial, check the comparison table on this page.

Part 2. Why Should You Upgrade to UPDF Paid?

From the above UPDF free vs paid comparison table, you can see that the free plan gives a taste of all the core features but with limited access or trial watermarks. So, this plan best suits users who have basic needs to fulfill, such as viewing, annotating, or performing occasional edits on PDFs without requiring full functionality.

In contrast, the UPDF Pro plan gives limitless access to its advanced features. You get:

  • Unlimited edits and annotations
  • Limitless PDF conversions
  • Batch processing dozens of PDFs
  • Powerful OCR technology
  • Comprehensive PDF form functionality
  • Unrestricted sharing of PDFs via emails and links

The best part is that UPDF Pro is accessible for a lifetime with its one-time purchase option. Plus, our pricing plans are the cheapest in the PDF editor market.

To better understand how UPDF offers the best plans, let's do a quick comparison of UPDF Pro and Adobe Acrobat Pro and see the difference in pricing, compatibility, and features.

From the above UPDF free vs paid plans comparison, you can conclude that both plans have their unique purposes. However, we recommend that you purchase a UPDF paid plan, especially the lifetime plan ($69.99), to avoid recurring costs and have a powerful PDF editor forever.
