Questions and answers

Can I pay monthly?

No, all our plans are billed annually.

Do you offer discounts?

Yes, we offer:

  • Academic discount: 50% off for students, faculty, researchers, and eligible nonprofits
  • Group discount: Up to 20% off for Expert plans (discount increases with the number of seats)

Contact support@paperpile.com if you're unsure whether you qualify.

Can I pay via purchase order?

Yes, contact support@paperpile.com with the plan you want to subscribe to. We will send you a quote that you can use to generate the purchase order. Once you submit the purchase order to us, we will send you a license key and invoice.

What payment methods do you accept other than credit cards?

In addition to credit cards, we accept PayPal and other payment methods depending on your location. Contact support@paperpile.com for details.

How can I buy a subscription for someone else?

To purchase a subscription for a student, employee, or as a gift, contact our team at support@paperpile.com. We'll help you set it up.

Do I qualify for academic pricing?

Yes, if you are a student, faculty, or researcher affiliated with an accredited university, recognized research institution, or non-profit organization. If you are unsure that you qualify, please contact our team at support@paperpile.com.

Do you offer multi-year subscriptions?

Yes, you can purchase a multi-year subscription. Please contact support@paperpile.com for more information and/or to request an invoice.

How does pricing work for more than one user?

Group discounts: Expert plans have automatic group discounts. The per-user price decreases as you add more users.

One plan per license: A multi-user license can only have a single plan. You cannot mix Regular and Expert plans within the same license.

Do you work with resellers?

We work with resellers on a case-by-case basis. We're not actively seeking new reseller partnerships at this time, but you're welcome to contact our team at support@paperpile.com to discuss your specific situation.
