Prices verified October 30, 2026 on the vendor's site

Overview

Nitro PDF from Nitro Software is a PDF editor for Windows, Mac and iOS, with browser access for viewing and commenting. The main subscription, Nitro PDF Standard, costs $15.00 per user per month billed annually ($180 a year) in the US. It covers editing with paragraph reflow, Office conversion, OCR, PDF comparison, redaction, Bates numbering, forms, and AI tools that summarize, rewrite and pull data out of documents. Nitro PDF Plus is quote-only and adds SSO, Azure Information Protection and usage analytics for larger organizations. Nitro PDF Classic is unusual: $270 paid once for three years of a core Windows-only editor. E-signature is a separate product line, starting with Nitro Sign Standard at $10.00 per user per month billed annually. There is no free plan and no Android app is listed, and Plus pricing is not published.

Who it's for

Windows-centric small businesses that want a familiar Microsoft Office-style interface, companies standardizing PDF editing with central license management, and buyers who prefer to pay once for a fixed three-year term instead of a rolling subscription. Legal teams that rely on Bates numbering and redaction are also a good fit.
