Simple and flexible PDF SDK pricing

Our pricing is based on a couple factors: the products and components you require, and how your application uses the technology and the value it delivers. Licenses are sold as annual subscriptions — including access, updates, and support — with multiyear terms available at the best yearly rate. Pay only for what you need, whether deployed client-side, on-premises, or in the cloud, and scale up as your application grows.

Founder and CEO
“When I spoke with Nutrient, it felt more like I was connecting with the core team rather than a sales organization. Salespeople often have this ‘chest-thumping’ way of making big promises. But I needed real, grounded assurances for a decision as crucial as changing a core system. And talking directly with the Nutrient team, instead of navigating sales hype, gave me the confidence to take that pivotal step.”

Frequently asked questions

What’s included in the base license, and what are paid add-ons?

Nutrient SDK uses a component-based model — you license only the capabilities your product ships. For client-side SDKs (Web, iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, MAUI), the Viewer is the foundation: full document rendering, to which you add functionality like Annotations, Forms, Digital Signatures, Replies, Redaction, Document Comparison, Indexed Search, or Document Editor. For server-side SDKs (.NET, Java, Python, Node.js) and Document Engine, the base covers core processing capability — document conversion, rendering, and manipulation — with additional components licensed on top. The Sales team can map the right component set to your architecture before you sign.

Are contracts annual or multiyear? What are the renewal terms?

Most Nutrient SDK customers choose annual or multiyear agreements depending on their product scale and roadmap. Renewal reminders are sent automatically 45 days before expiry, followed by a manual follow-up if there is no response. You’ll be invoiced upon contract signing; payment is accepted via ACH or wire transfer. Annual and multiyear agreements provide a predictable commitment structure for enterprise procurement cycles — contact Sales to discuss the right term for your team.

What does the buying process look like — how do I get a price?

To get a price, submit a request through the Contact Sales form. Nutrient’s Solutions Engineering team works with you to scope your architecture and usage before putting together a quote — so pricing reflects your actual deployment, not a generic estimate. For teams with security or compliance requirements — SOC 2, HIPAA, or air-gapped environments — these are factored into the scoping conversation upfront. Once agreed, a contract is signed electronically. After signing, you receive immediate access to the Nutrient Portal to download SDK binaries and license keys. You’ll be invoiced upon contract signing; payment is accepted via ACH or wire transfer. Nutrient responds within one business day.

How is pricing calculated — by users, by features, by platform?

Nutrient aligns pricing to your product’s value and architecture. The technology replaces months of engineering investment in production-grade document infrastructure — viewing, processing, signing, and AI capabilities that would otherwise require significant internal build and ongoing maintenance cost. Pricing reflects the components licensed, the deployment model (client-side Web SDK, self-hosted Document Engine, managed cloud, or usage-based API), and the scale and nature of your use case. The Sales team builds a quote tailored to how you’re using the technology and the value it provides. Web Viewer SDK, self-hosted Document Engine, and managed Document Engine use annual licensing. DWS Viewer API and DWS Processor API use usage-based pricing.

How does pricing work if I’m building a SaaS product with many end customers?

Nutrient SDK is built to power SaaS products. If you’re embedding document capabilities into a product you ship to your own customers, Nutrient offers flexible licensing structures depending on your stage and scale. For products with large or established customer bases, OEM licensing provides unlimited deployment under a single agreement with no per-customer overhead. For growing SaaS products, per-usage models are also available — allowing pricing to scale alongside your business. To discuss the right structure for your use case and get a tailored quote, contact the Sales team.

Does Nutrient meet enterprise compliance requirements — SOC 2, HIPAA, or WCAG?

Nutrient is SOC 2 Type 2-audited and supports workflows that meet HIPAA, WCAG 2.2, and PDF/UA requirements. The client-side Web SDK processes documents locally on the user’s device, which prevents data from leaving the environment — directly relevant to GDPR and HIPAA data residency controls. WCAG 2.2 AA compliance is built into the viewer with screen reader support and PDF/UA-accessible output. SOC 2 Type 2 audit coverage applies to Nutrient’s cloud infrastructure, including the managed version of Document Engine. Encryption in transit and at rest is standard across all deployment models, with options for dedicated tenancy for regulated-industry requirements.

Can I add features or platforms later without renegotiating the full contract?

Nutrient SDK licensing is designed to grow with your product — each component represents production-ready document capability that would otherwise require significant engineering investment to build and maintain. As your feature set expands, your license can expand with it: adding components or platforms is coordinated through the Sales team, with your agreement adjusted to reflect your new requirements. The most efficient approach is to map your full component roadmap before signing: The Sales team can walk through your planned architecture so your initial contract already accounts for where you’re headed. For teams with a phased rollout, this conversation is worth having upfront to keep future expansions seamless.

What does a structured evaluation or POC look like — is there a free trial?

Nutrient SDK evaluation starts with a 30-day trial with full feature access — no license key and no payment information required. All platforms (Web, iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, MAUI, .NET, Java, Python, Node.js, Document Engine) are available immediately at nutrient.io/sdk/try. Note that PDFs rendered during evaluation include a Nutrient watermark; this is removed once a license is active. The evaluation period is 30 days by default with no hard cutoff; contact Sales if you need more time. For teams evaluating Nutrient for complex deployments or regulated environments, the Sales team provides structured POC engagements with dedicated technical support and guided architecture review. Nutrient commits to a 1-business-day response on all sales inquiries.

Can Nutrient SDK be deployed in air-gapped, fully on-premises, or data-sovereign environments?

Nutrient SDKs support air-gapped and fully on-premises deployment. All server-side SDKs — including .NET, Java, Python, Node.js, and Document Engine — can run in a fully isolated environment with no external calls required. Document Engine can run on infrastructure the customer controls — on-premises servers, a private cloud, a virtual private cloud (VPC), or a fully air-gapped network — with full authority over where data resides, who can access it, and when updates are applied. For organizations that prefer Nutrient-operated infrastructure, the managed version of Document Engine provides an isolated VPC deployment with HIPAA and GDPR data sovereignty support. The client-side Web SDK processes documents locally on the user’s device by default, with no document data transmitted to any server.

Is dedicated support or an SLA available for enterprise customers?

All Nutrient SDK customers receive support under a standard SLA. Enhanced support tiers — with dedicated engineers, faster response times, and named technical contacts — are available as an add-on. Managed Document Engine deployment includes autoscaling, monitoring, backups, and SLA uptime guarantees managed end to end by Nutrient. Enhanced support terms are defined during the sales process and documented in the contract. Nutrient commits to a 1-business-day response on all sales inquiries.
