Plans and Pricing
Developers
SmallPDF and PDF2Go differ in their pricing and the features they offer. While PDF2Go has a lower entry plan but lacks features like eSignature and mobile app access, SmallPDF has these features at a slightly higher price point.

SmallPDF has an online editor that allows its users to add text data quickly. This tool also allows users to add drawings, freehand annotations, fill out PDF forms, and add images. You can also change the file’s font and color. You can also opt to use the editor offline.
These same features are available on PDF2Go. But the good news is that it comes with more functionality and PDF editing options. These include panning and zooming the document, embedding images, and highlighting certain areas. You can also apply whiteout if needed.
Most importantly, PDF2Go doesn’t require you to set up software before using its editor.
PDF2Go offers encryption so that all your PDFs are password-protected. The recipient will need to enter the correct password before they can open, print, copy, or modify a document.
PDF2Go encrypts files using 256-bit SSL encryption. As a result, you experience a seamless transfer of your files from your device to their servers. Since the entire process is automated, PDF2Go does not actively monitor these files and does not provide backups for these documents.
SmallPDF offers PDF protection so you can require a password when sending your document to others.
PDF2Go is one of the editors that offer this feature. Not a lot of PDF editors offer PDF repair features. As its name suggests, the feature helps rectify a document when the file is broken. All you have to do is use PDF2Go’s toolset to access this repair functionality.
SmallPDF lacks this feature.
PDF2Go and SmallPDF have two compression modes, which depend on the quality and size output you require.
The first compression mode, called Basic, produces a medium file size (-40%). Despite reducing the file size by almost half, the document retains its high quality. There’s also the Strong compression mode offered that reduces a file by 75%. This delivers the smallest file size and still has good quality.
PDF2Go can further compress the PDF file by turning each page into a grayscale. This is one feature that is not available on SmallPDF.
PDF2Go does not offer eSignature.
SmallPDF has an advantage in this area since it allows users to embed an eSignature into a PDF file. You can also request that other people add their eSignature to the file.
The eSignature can be created using a mouse to draw, add initials, type text, or upload an image.
PDF2Go offers three pricing packages: Unregistered Free, Registered Free, and Premium. Each of these packages comes with its own available set of features. As for pricing, PDF2Go’s paid premium plan costs $6 per month.
While it offers two unpaid plan options, the main difference between them is with file size and file per conversion. Although both packages allow access to all tools, they are limited to 50MB (Unregistered Free) and 100MB (Registered Free).
Premium users, on the other hand, have full and unlimited access to all the tools offered by PDF2Go.
Going back to SmallPDF, this PDF editor offers four pricing options. While you can create a free plan, it will not offer the same features as the paid Pro or Team plan, which starts at $10 per month.
