PDF Agile sells three paid plans and calls each of them a one-time payment rather than a subscription. Semi-Annual is $39 (shown as $6.5 a month) with 6 months of upgrades and priority support; Annual is $59 (shown as $4.9 a month) with 1 year of upgrades and priority support; Lifetime is $119, marked as a 60%-off limited-time offer against $295, with free lifetime upgrades. All three list the same features: editing text and images in PDFs, PDF-to-Word conversion, merging and reordering pages, signing and protecting, annotating, batch conversion, OCR and compression.
