What will it cost?

100 pages a month

Worked out from each plan's published rate, reading the figures above as one month's work. Subscription plans read Included in the plan rather than a per-document figure: a monthly fee is not a per-document price, and dividing one into the other would need a volume no vendor publishes. A metered plan is priced past its allowance at its published overage rate; one that caps out with no such rate says so instead of quoting a price it would not honour.

Our assessment

PermanentRedaction takes a deliberately deterministic approach in a market full of AI-detection tools: it finds sensitive content purely through saved/reusable rule sets — keyword, phrase, ID, date and regex matching — rather than machine-learning inference, which it markets as a feature ("no AI model processing of documents") for filing, disclosure and regulatory submission contexts like court filings, discovery exhibits, HR records, healthcare administration, public records responses, financial document sharing and journalist source protection. The workflow previews every match before anything is finalized, supports multi-document jobs, and includes a two-pass verification step. Output can be either text-preserving or flattened to image-only, and every job produces a verification report plus a confidential redaction index that serves as an audit trail. Scanned/image-only PDFs only get limited manual-only redaction (via image-region box drawing) since there's no OCR or AI layer to read them. Pricing runs on two parallel tracks: pay-per-job One-Off pricing ($29–$149 depending on size, up to 25 documents/10,000 pages, 48-hour access, no subscription) and monthly subscriptions from a watermarked Free tier through Starter ($49/mo), Professional ($99/mo), Firm ($249/mo), Litigation Operations ($499/mo) and Enterprise Production ($999/mo) — each raising per-job page limits, monthly page/document quotas, team login seats (2 up to 100) and file retention (24 hours up to adjustable 1-14 days). All paid tiers include unlimited rules, image-region redaction, verification reports and both export modes.

Strengths

  • Fully deterministic rule-based matching — no AI/ML model processes the document, which some regulated workflows may prefer or require
  • Two-pass verification workflow plus exported verification reports and a redaction index for audit purposes
  • Both a true pay-per-job option (no subscription) and monthly plans, fitting occasional and heavy users alike
  • Saved/reusable rule sets speed up repeat redaction work on similar document types
  • Scales cleanly from a free watermarked tier to a 100-seat, 750,000-page/month Enterprise tier

Limitations

  • Rule-based matching only — no AI/contextual detection, so it will miss sensitive content that doesn't match a configured keyword/phrase/pattern
  • Scanned/image-only PDFs get only limited manual redaction, with no OCR or AI to search their text
  • No stated compliance certifications (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2) despite targeting healthcare and legal workflows
  • Free tier is very small (25 total pages, 5 documents, 24-hour retention) and watermarked
