Understanding AI Deep Detect credits

iFillPDF charges nothing per page. Everything is free β€” checkbox detection, erase, fill, sign and edit β€” with a simple watermark on export. The only paid lever is AI Deep Detect (deep AI detection that finds AND names every field) and removing the watermark. Here's how AI Deep Detect credits are counted.

What is AI Deep Detect?

AI Deep Detect is the deep AI detection that finely analyses your form to find AND name every fillable field (text, dates, checkboxes, signatures) β€” far beyond standard checkbox detection, which stays free and unlimited.

Each AI Deep Detect run on a document consumes 1 credit. Our actual AI cost (Textract OCR + Gemini extraction) sits on this deep detection, so it is the only usage billed.

AI Deep Detect credit packs

Free: 0 AI Deep Detect credits + watermark on export (everything else is free and unlimited).

AI Deep Detect credit packs (one-time, never expire): 10 credits for $10, 50 credits for $35, 200 credits for $80 β€” 1 credit = 1 document analyzed by AI.

Remove the watermark for good with a single $8.99 Lifetime payment β€” one-time, no subscription, no recurring charge.

What happens when my AI Deep Detect credits run out?

Everything keeps working: checkbox detection, fill, erase, sign, edit and export remain available β€” you simply fall back to standard detection instead of AI Deep Detect once your credits reach zero. PDFs you already created remain accessible for viewing and download (no freeze).

To get more AI Deep Detect credits, buy another pack any time from the pricing page (10, 50 or 200 credits, one-time payment, instant top-up) β€” credits never expire, so there is no monthly reset to wait for.

Automatic email notification at 80% and 100% of credits β€” no surprise.
