One plan includes the collaborative web workspace, LaTeX compilation, and MCP access. Anyone can join with Google or GitHub.

At a glance

Straightforward limits for a free beta.

The same permissions, quotas, and rate limits apply whether you work in the web app or through PaperDock's published API and MCP tools.

Projects you own

Plus up to 20 projects shared with you

People per project

Including the project owner

500

Files per project

Text and binary files combined

100 MiB

Storage per project

200 MiB across projects you own

Web compilation

30 fresh compiles each day.

Cached results do not use your daily quota. A fresh compile is one that PaperDock cannot serve from cache.

Burst limit: 3 per 5 minutes
Compile input: 25 MiB, 500 files
Time limit: About 85 seconds

Included

The full PaperDock workflow.

AI agent access is part of the product, so MCP connections are included in the free beta rather than placed behind a paid plan.

Realtime editing with your team

When you reach a limit

Your existing work stays yours.

PaperDock blocks only the action that would increase usage. It does not automatically delete your projects or send you to a payment screen.

Keep access

Continue reading, downloading, exporting, and deleting your work.

Reduce usage

Delete or shrink files, then resume uploads and other size-increasing changes.

Wait for compile reset

Only fresh compiles pause when the daily or burst quota is reached.

Ask during beta

Active beta users may contact us about a temporary storage increase.

Storage and file sizes

Editable text per project: 5 MiB
One editable text file: 2 MiB
One binary file: 25 MiB
Storage counted for you: Only projects you own

Text and binary source files count toward storage. A collaborator does not count another owner's project against their own storage.

Compile queues and availability

Running per user: 1 compile
Waiting per user: 1 compile
Waiting per project: Up to 3 compiles
Queue priority: Standard

If compilation is unavailable, PaperDock rejects the request before it uses your quota.

History and compile artifacts

Visible document history: 30 days, up to 30 checkpoints per file
Operational revisions: 7 days
Compile-related history: 7 days, up to 10 checkpoints per file
Compile artifacts: 7 days
Successful logs: 24 hours
Failed, cancelled, or expired logs: 72 hours
Finished compile metadata: 30 days

Older revisions and artifacts are cleaned up automatically. The latest successful PDF and SyncTeX result may remain until it is replaced or the project is deleted.

Invitation email protection

Invitations and resends per project owner: 20 per day
Resends for one invitation: 5 per day

If an email limit is reached, the project and invitation stay in place; only the email delivery is paused.

Beta service

Built with feedback, without an SLA.

Support is community and feedback based during the beta. Data retention and uninterrupted availability are not guaranteed at a paid-service level.
