Kami pricing

Kami plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Teacher | $99/month | 4 | +$99/month, 4 more features |
| School/District | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Kami in for annotating and marking up pdfs and worksheets in a classroom, distributing and collecting student assignments through an lms, collaborative document annotation for group work. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Kami are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in PDF & Document Tools
Too few pdf & document tools tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kami (this page) | Free | freemium | - | |
| Foxit PDF Editor | On request | one-time | - | vs Kami |
| iLovePDF | Free | freemium | - | vs Kami |
| Nitro PDF | On request | quote | - | vs Kami |
| PDF Expert | On request | one-time | - | vs Kami |
| Sejda | Free | freemium | - | vs Kami |
Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Kami badges page.
Before you pay for Kami
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Kami runs on web, chrome extension, ios, android, and is published by Kami Limited of Auckland, New Zealand. The full record is on the Kami review, and the rest of the category is under best pdf & document tools tools.
Kami pricing questions
- How much does Kami cost?
- Kami publishes 3 tiers, from Free for Free up to On request for School/District. The entry tier costs nothing.
- Does Kami have a free plan?
- Yes. The Free tier costs nothing and covers core annotation tools, split & merge pdfs, basic integrations. Paying starts at $99/month for Teacher.
- What is the difference between Free and Teacher on Kami?
- Teacher costs $99/month against Free, and adds all annotations, voice comments, text-to-speech, math tools.
- Is the School/District plan on Kami worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is all teacher, admin dashboard, sso, rostering. It costs On request against $99/month for Teacher. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- Which pdf & document tools tools can I use without paying?
- 2 of the 5 pdf & document tools tools listed alongside Kami have a free tier: iLovePDF, Sejda.
- What am I actually paying for with Kami?
- The record lists 18 features across 3 areas: core, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for annotating and marking up pdfs and worksheets in a classroom, distributing and collecting student assignments through an lms, collaborative document annotation for group work.
- Does Kami charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Kami prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Kami against before paying?
- The closest pdf & document tools tools in this directory are Foxit PDF Editor, iLovePDF, Nitro PDF, PDF Expert. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Kami covering price, platforms and features.
