How PDF Tower is different
- On your device. Every PDF Tower tool runs in your browser. Your document is not uploaded. How it works
- No early-cancellation fee. PDF Tower sells a yearly plan paid once ($89.99) or a monthly plan you can cancel anytime ($12.49). There is no yearly plan billed monthly.
- Official forms built in. Form pages open the agency's or court's own blank, with its source and the date we checked it. Browse forms
What PDF Tower does not do
- No desktop or phone app yet. PDF Tower runs in a web browser.
- No requests for other people to sign, and no fax.
- No Word, Excel or PowerPoint to PDF conversion, and no AI assistant. Those need a server, and PDF Tower keeps files on your device.
