Customer Inquiry: Pay-as-You-Go PDF Security

One of our recent customers, Sunny, reached out to us with an inquiry about securing a single PDF document for download and requested a pay-as-you-go model, where they would pay a percentage each time a client downloads the document. Here’s what they asked:


Customer’s Question:

“I would like to secure a single PDF which will be downloadable from my website. I would ideally like a pay-as-you-go option, i.e., when a client downloads my document, I pay you a percentage each time. Is this something which you offer?”

“I saw the free version available on your website, with all the security I’d need. I wasn’t quite sure what the “N” means, but I’ll go and research this to discover what it means.”

“I really hope I can use your company, and hope the pay-as-you-go is viable!”


Our Response

We truly appreciate a customer’s interest in our solutions, and we would like to clarify some points and offer further guidance regarding our services:

  1. Pay-as-You-Go Model

    Unfortunately, we currently do not offer a pay-as-you-go payment model for our PDF security service. We only provide monthly subscription plans to cover our PDF protection services. These plans are designed to offer flexible usage while ensuring complete security for your files.

    Our subscription-based plans are a cost-effective solution for businesses that need consistent access to document protection tools, and they ensure that you can securely distribute your PDF files without worrying about managing per-download payments.

  2. Understanding “N” – The Limits of Our Service

    Sunny mentioned uncertainty regarding the term “N” that appears on our website, especially in relation to security limits. To clarify, “N” refers to numerical limits set on certain aspects of the service. Here’s a breakdown of what “N” means in this context:

    • Upload User Limit: This refers to the maximum number of users allowed to upload files to our platform.
    • Document Upload Limit: This refers to the maximum number of documents that can be uploaded for protection.
    • Maximum Number of Viewers: This defines the maximum number of people who can view your protected document.
    • Maximum Number of Views: This limits how many times a document can be viewed.

    These limits ensure that you can control how your documents are accessed and by how many people, offering an added layer of security and preventing unauthorized distribution or excessive access.

Why Choose Subscription Over Pay-as-You-Go?

Although we don’t currently offer a pay-as-you-go model, our subscription plans provide several advantages for businesses that regularly need to secure documents. With a subscription, you can upload and manage a wide range of files, control access, and set limits on downloads, views, and more.

The subscription-based model also simplifies budgeting and cost management, as you know exactly what you will be paying each month. It’s perfect for companies that need consistent and reliable protection for a large number of files.

Conclusion

While a pay-as-you-go model may be appealing for some, our subscription plans are designed to provide a scalable and efficient solution for securing PDF documents. We believe that our service offers the flexibility and protection needed for businesses to securely distribute files while managing their costs effectively.

If you have further questions about our service or need assistance with setting up a plan, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We look forward to helping you protect your documents and ensure your clients’ information remains safe.
