Flourish PDF questions
Plans, the free tier, on-device AI, where your documents go, and how billing works. Something missing? Email [email protected] or use the contact form.
What is the difference between Plus and Pro?
Plus ($4.99/month or $39.99/year) covers the everyday jobs: merging and splitting, cropping, page numbers, headers and footers, exporting pages to images, and creating and filling forms, with 250 OCR pages and 100 LaTeX builds a month. Pro ($9.99/month or $79.99/year) adds editing text that is already in the PDF, permanent redaction, permissions and watermarks, Bates numbering, batch tools, document comparison and the accessibility audit — and removes the OCR and LaTeX limits.
Is there a free version?
Yes, and it is not a trial. Free lets you read, search, print, highlight, draw, stamp, add text, sign, reorder, rotate and delete pages, password-protect a file, and run 5 OCR pages and 3 LaTeX builds a month. Every tool is visible from the first launch; a paid plan unlocks the ones marked Plus or Pro. On iPhone, iPad and Android the free version shows ads; on Mac and Windows it never does.
Can I try Plus or Pro before paying?
New subscribers can start with a 7-day free trial on Plus or Pro. The App Store, Google Play or the web checkout shows the exact terms — the trial length, and the price that follows — before you confirm, and you can cancel before the trial ends.
Where do my documents go?
Nowhere. Editing, OCR, scanning, conversion and the AI features all run on your own device, and the app has no document-upload endpoint at all. What our servers hold is your account, which plan it is on, and aggregate feature counters — never a file, its text, a page image or an AI prompt.
Do I need an account?
Not to use the free version. You sign in only to use a paid plan across devices. Sign in with Apple, Google or email; the same account unlocks Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows.
Does one subscription cover all my devices?
Yes. Buy Plus or Pro once — in the App Store, Google Play, or on the web — and it unlocks on every platform you sign in on with the same Flourish PDF account. Windows has no store in-app purchase: download the app free, subscribe on the web account page, then sign in.
How do I cancel?
Whoever took the payment cancels it: Apple Account subscriptions on Mac, iPhone and iPad; Google Play subscriptions on Android; the web account page for Windows and web purchases. You keep paid features until the end of the period you paid for. Refunds are issued by the store that processed the payment, under its own policy.
Are updates included?
Yes. Updates arrive through the App Store, Google Play and Microsoft Store like any app update, at no extra charge, and a subscription unlocks the new tools as they ship.
Is there AI, and does it cost credits?
The AI features run on your device's own AI — Apple Intelligence on Mac, iPhone and iPad, and Google's on-device models on supported Android phones — so there are no credits to buy or run out of, and nothing about your document is sent anywhere. If your device does not support on-device AI, the feature is unavailable rather than quietly falling back to a cloud service.
I need licences for a team or a school. Where do I start?
Email [email protected] with how many people and which platforms, and we will reply within one business day (Mon–Fri, U.S. Pacific Time).
