PRICING MODEL

Self-hosted licensing, sized to your deployment.

Office SDK runs on your infrastructure, so pricing follows the deployment rather than per-file usage. Tell us the editor count, environments, and workflow scope, and you receive a quote that matches the deployment you are actually evaluating.

A sample Office surface for products that keep a document beside the work around it.

A CLEAR BOUNDARY

Useful detail for the next technical question.

Use these pages to decide which workflow, format, and ownership boundary should be validated first.

Your system keeps file storage and permissions.
Preview, edit, review, import, and export are separate decisions.
Callbacks and SDK surfaces connect the document to your product.
01
HOW PRICING WORKS

A license for the deployment, not per document.

The license covers the self-hosted Office SDK deployment in your environments. Opening, editing, and converting files inside that deployment is not metered, so usage growth does not change the invoice.

02
WHAT SIZES THE QUOTE

Three inputs shape the number.

Concurrent editors, the environments you run (evaluation, staging, production), and the workflow scope you need first. A focused first scope keeps the entry price honest.

03
WHAT IS INCLUDED

Support and upgrades travel with the license.

The quote includes integration support during evaluation, upgrade access, and help validating the exact formats and workflows you plan to run in production.

04
START SMALL

Prove one workflow before you scale.

The recommended path is a single-server proof of concept on one workflow. Pricing for production is easier to accept after the evaluation has evidence behind it.

IN ONE SENTENCE

Office SDK pricing is a self-hosted deployment license sized by editors, environments, and workflow scope, without per-file or per-document charges.

1 license:

deployment coverage

One self-hosted license covers the Office SDK runtime in the environments you agree with the team.

0:

per-document fees

Preview, editing, and conversion inside the deployment are not metered per file or per document.

3 inputs:

quote sizing

Concurrent editors, environment count, and first workflow scope determine the quote.

APPLY THE GUIDANCE

Four checks before the next decision.

  1. Describe the first workflow and the formats it must handle.
  2. Estimate concurrent editors and name the environments you run.
  3. Request the quote and a single-server evaluation license together.
  4. Revisit pricing after the proof of concept has recorded evidence.
