Sejda

Overview

Sejda is operated by Sejda BV of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and began in 2010 as an open-source project^[20]. It offers a browser-based editor and a desktop application that processes files locally without uploading them^[19].

Sejda’s pricing is built around short passes as well as subscriptions. A Web Week Pass costs $5 for seven days and does not auto-renew; a Desktop+Web annual plan costs $63 per user per year. Paid users get unlimited documents without page or hourly limits, OCR for documents up to 100 pages, batch processing, uploads up to 500MB and up to 21 minutes of processing per task^[19]. Team discounts rise from 10% for two to four members to 60% for 50 or more. The free tier needs no sign-up but applies page, hourly, upload and tool limits that the pricing page does not quantify^[19].

Sejda suits occasional users and those who want a desktop option that keeps files local. Its limitations are a web editor that uploads files to Sejda’s servers, OCR capped at 100 pages per document, no mobile apps, and a pricing page that shows the monthly web price in a format ($ 750) that does not clearly state the amount^[19].
