Foxit PDF Editor review

Foxit sells two subscriptions. PDF Editor costs $129.99 per user per year and covers professional editing, conversion, OCR, forms and document security on Windows, macOS and the web. PDF Editor+ costs $159.99 and adds the iOS and Android apps, Foxit eSign Essentials with 150 envelopes a year and AI-powered Smart Redact for automatic removal of personal data. Monthly billing starts at $10.99, and anyone who dislikes subscriptions can buy Foxit PDF Editor 14 outright for $209.99 per user. Both subscriptions include Foxit DMS with unlimited cloud storage, automatic updates and 300 free AI credits a month; a $49.99 yearly add-on raises that to 2,000 credits for summaries, translation and data extraction. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial that needs no card. For freelancers the base plan covers most daily tasks, while teams that sign contracts on phones will want Editor+.
