Free and Premium
PDF Beacon is free to download. Optional Premium Monthly and Premium Yearly auto-renewing subscriptions are sold through Apple App Store or Google Play. Eligible new subscribers may see a 7-day introductory free trial when the store offers it. Prices are shown in the store for your country—this page does not list fixed amounts.
- Free (conceptual limits): about 3 PDFs, 100 pages per PDF, and 1 folder, with core on-device search within those limits.
- Premium unlocks: higher library capacity, Premium-gated tools such as OCR when enabled for Premium, and other limits removed as shown on the in-App paywall.
Privacy-minded by design
Document contents and search indexes stay on your device for normal library use. The current build does not include developer cloud sync, in-app ads, or third-party analytics/crash SDKs. Purchases and restores use Apple or Google store services; entitlement status may be cached locally.
Coming later (Premium roadmap)
These areas are not marketed as finished today. When shipped, they are intended as Premium (or Premium-gated) capabilities:
- Mark-all across progressive result groups
- Dedicated notes panel and annotation print/export
- Free-form text selection tooling (Stage D)
- Search Context View (Stage E)
