Last updated

Imprint is designed to grow with your business. Whether you are selling your very first PDF or managing a massive library of digital assets, we have a plan that fits.

We believe in a "Value First" philosophy. You shouldn't have to pay until you are making money. That's why our core security features, including real-time watermarking, are available to everyone, forever.

The Upgrade & Plans page comparing the Free, Basic and Premium plans, with the Monthly and Annual billing toggle


Monthly or Annual Billing

Both paid plans can be billed monthly or annually. Use the Monthly / Annual toggle at the top of the Upgrade & Plans page to compare prices.

  • Annual billing costs the same as 10 months, so you get 2 months free every year.
  • Both paid plans come with a 14-day free trial, whichever billing cycle you choose.
  • Already on a paid plan? Click Switch to Annual (or Switch to Monthly) on your current plan to change your billing cycle.

The Free Plan (Forever)

Best for: New merchants and stores just getting started.

We designed the Free plan to be genuinely useful, not just a demo. It includes our powerful PDF Stamping Engine so you can protect your work from day one without paying a cent.

  • Cost: $0.00 / month.
  • Capacity: 20 products, 500 MB storage.
  • File Limits: 1 file per product (Max 100 MB size).

Why upgrade? The Free plan displays "Digital downloads powered by Imprint" in your download emails, and "Powered by Imprint" on the last page of your public previews. Once your store starts generating sales, we'd love for you to upgrade! It removes our branding, unlocks professional features, and directly supports the continued development of this app.


The Basic Plan

Best for: Growing stores that want a professional look.

The Basic plan removes all Imprint branding and gives you the tools to create a seamless, "white-label" experience for your customers.

  • Cost: $8.99 / month (or $89.90/year — save 2 months!).
  • Capacity: 500 products, 5 GB storage.
  • Huge Files: Upload files up to 1 GB in size.

Key Unlocks:

  • Remove "Powered by Imprint" branding.
  • Multiple files per product: Sell bundles (e.g., eBook + Workbook) in a single product.
  • Custom watermark text: Choose what gets stamped, where it goes and how it looks. The {quantity} and {copies} variables turn the stamp into a licence line, such as "Licensed to John Doe for 12 copies".
  • Checkout Page Downloads: Give customers instant access on the "Thank You" page.
  • Custom SMTP: Send emails from your own domain (e.g., [email protected]).
  • Copy tracking: A unique copy code for every download, a Download Log on each order, and Find Order by Code to trace a shared file back to its order. Learn more
  • Free samples: Give the first pages of a PDF, or an excerpt, in exchange for an email address. Every sign-up becomes a tagged Shopify customer. Learn more

The Premium Plan

Best for: High-volume sellers, large catalogs, and anyone who needs to find out who leaked a file.

Premium adds tracing marks, leak analysis, takedown notice drafts and licence stamping, with unlimited products, storage and file size.

  • Cost: $18.99 / month (or $189.90/year — save 2 months!).
  • Capacity: Unlimited products, Unlimited storage.
  • File Limits: Unlimited file size.

Key Unlocks:

  • Includes everything in Basic.
  • Unlimited usage: unlimited products and storage, with no file size limit.
  • Leak tracing: Enable hidden tracing marks, then upload leaked PDFs to look for matching orders and downloads using the clues that survive. Draft takedown notices for you to review and send to the host.
  • Licence stamping: Give a product its own watermark text and line setting, in place of the text in Settings → Watermark. On Shopify B2B orders, {company} stamps the name of the company that placed the order. Learn more
  • Priority Support: Jump to the front of the queue for faster help.

Changing Plans

You can upgrade, downgrade or switch billing cycle at any time from the Upgrade & Plans page (Upgrade in the app menu). Charges are handled by Shopify and appear on your Shopify bill.

  • Downgrading: Imprint checks that your store fits the lower plan first. If you have more products or use more storage than it allows, you'll see what to remove before you can switch.
  • Product watermark texts are kept: If you move down from Premium, your products keep their own watermark texts, but their PDFs are stamped with the text from Settings → Watermark again. The products' texts come back into use if you return to Premium.
  • Copy history is kept on every plan: Imprint records a copy code for every download, even on the Free plan. When you upgrade to Basic, your Download Log already shows your past downloads.
