Account

Note

This documentation is under active development. We aim to have it completed by the release of Papermerge Cloud (November 2026).

There are two types of accounts:

• Solo accounts — for individual users (e.g. freelancers)
• Team accounts — for teams

Pricing

Pricing has not been decided yet. It will be announced on the official release of Papermerge Cloud on 11 November 2026. See papermerge.com for announcements.

Solo Accounts

This type of account is aimed at individual or private users (e.g. freelancers).

Solo accounts can upload and work with documents, set up metadata, categories, retention settings, and more.

A solo account is strictly for one user. If you need to add another user, you will need to migrate to a team account. For more details see Migrating to a Team Account.

However, solo accounts cannot manage:

• roles
• other users
• groups
• cabinets

These features are designed for team use and are available in team accounts.

To create a solo account, simply sign up with your email address. No credit card or upfront payment is required.

Team Accounts

Tip

Not sure yet? You can try the basic functionality with a solo account before setting up a team account.

Team accounts are aimed at users who work in teams of 2 or more people.

On initial registration, an admin user is created. The admin user can add and manage other users, groups, roles, cabinets, and more.

Setting up a team account takes 2–3 minutes. You will need to provide your email address and a valid credit card. You will not be charged — we use payment details solely to filter out automated registrations.

If you already have a solo account and want to move to a team account, you will need to create a new team account and migrate your data from there. For more details see Migrating to a Team Account.
