Frequently asked questions

Haven’t found what you’re looking for?

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The Carbone Cloud Free plan includes 100 documents per month, 100 templates, Carbone Studio and every Enterprise rendering feature (charts, barcodes, dynamic images, HTML, PDF operations...). Document previews with the test API key are unlimited. For self-hosting, the Carbone On-Premise Community Edition is free, with no document or server limit.


How much does Carbone cost for 1,000, 5,000 or 20,000 documents per month?

On Carbone Cloud, prices are per month, in EUR and excluding VAT:

  • 1,000 documents per month: Essential plan, €29/month (€26/month billed annually).
  • 5,000 documents per month: Essential Plus plan, €95/month (€85/month billed annually).
  • 20,000 documents per month: Advanced plan, €159/month (€149/month billed annually).
  • 100,000 documents per month: Advanced Plus plan, €295/month (€265/month billed annually).
  • 500,000 documents per month: Advanced Ultra plan, €595/month (€529/month billed annually).

Documents beyond your plan are billed at the end of the period, from €0.02 per document on Essential down to €0.001 on Advanced Plus and Advanced Ultra. For example, 1,200 documents in one month on the Essential plan cost €29 + 200 × €0.02 = €33. The number of pages does not matter: one document is counted per generation when the injected data is smaller than 1 MB.


Is Carbone open source? What is the difference between Community and Enterprise?

Carbone comes in two editions. The Community Edition is free: its source code is published on GitHub under the Carbone Community License, and it covers the core templating features (substitutions, loops, conditions, formatters). The Enterprise Edition is a commercial product: it adds dynamic images, colors and charts, barcodes, HTML rendering, aggregations, PDF operations (merge, signature, watermark, encryption, Factur-X), and comes with support.

Carbone Cloud, including the Free plan, always runs the Enterprise Edition. On-Premise, Carbone runs the Community Edition until you add an Enterprise license (Fit or Unlimited plan). The Private Cloud offer on AWS includes the Enterprise license.


Which currency are prices in?

Carbone Cloud and On-Premise prices are in euros (EUR), excluding VAT. The Private Cloud offer is billed in US dollars (USD) by the AWS Marketplace.

Do you need more documents?

Are prices VAT-inclusive?

All prices on our website are exclusive of VAT and are subject to French VAT. European companies can be exempt if they provide an intra-Community VAT number when signing up.


Can I stop my subscription at any time?

Carbone Cloud offers monthly billing plans, allowing you to switch to our free plan at any time. If the subscription is canceled, the billing period is not refunded.


Is there a maximum number of pages per document?

No. You can generate a document with as many pages as needed. However, if your injected data is greater than 1 MB, it will count as two documents.


Do unused document roll over each month for the Cloud Plans?

No, unused document do not roll over each month for the Cloud Plans. However, if you pay annually, you receive a total of "N reports per month × 12 months," which you can use at any time during the year.


How does billing work?

You can choose between a monthly or yearly subscription. In both cases, the subscription is billed at the beginning of the period. For Cloud subscriptions, if you exceed the included document credits, additional documents will be charged at the beginning of the next period along with your subscription renewal.


Is canceling a subscription free?

Canceling a subscription is free unless you have additional documents. For example, if your subscription allows 1000 documents per month and you use 1100, the 100 extra documents will be charged when you cancel.


Can I easily upgrade or downgrade my subscription?

Yes, you can change your subscription plan (monthly or yearly) from your Carbone Account.

When you downgrade, you won’t be charged for the new subscription, only for any additional documents if applicable.

When you upgrade, you will pay the difference between your current and new subscription, as well as any additional documents if applicable.


Can I get a refund?

If you have started using your subscription, no refunds are provided.


Do you offer a full template creation service?

Yes partially, or with our partners. Please contact us at support@carbone.io
