Paligo 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business | $15000/year | 3 | Entry tier |
| Enterprise | On request | 3 | 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.
Business
$15000/yearThe entry tier. It covers 2 authors included, 2 languages, 10 gb storage per author.
Enterprise
On requestOver Business, this tier adds:
- 8 authors included
- Unlimited languages
- SSO and advanced permissions
What the product covers
The full Paligo feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Topic-based reuse
- Multi-channel publishing
- Translation management
- Review and workflow
- Nexus Portal and Answers
People bring Paligo in for a technical publications team producing large, interlinked manuals that need to be translated into several languages without maintaining separate copies per language, a regulated industry documentation team (medical device, industrial equipment) needing structured review and approval workflow, an engineering documentation team consolidating content that was previously duplicated across a wiki, a pdf generator and a help site, a company whose translation costs are high enough that reuse-driven token savings on ai translation justify the ccms licence cost. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Paligo are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Documentation
Too few documentation 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.

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 Paligo badges page.
Before you pay for Paligo
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: 2 tiers between $15000/year and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Paligo against the tools that do have one before committing.
Paligo runs on web, and is published by Paligo of Stockholm, Sweden. The full record is on the Paligo review, and the rest of the category is under best documentation tools.
