Axiomatic Tools vs Sejda
Sejda has been the default for years. We respect that. But the model — upload everything, watermark on free, no real API — leaves a lot of room for a modern alternative.
Axiomatic Tools compared with Sejda, feature by feature

| Free tier (key difference) | Unlimited in-browser tools, no watermarks | 3 tasks per hour, watermark on output |

Rows with a coloured leading rule are the differences we think matter most.
When we win, when we don't
- If you're already paying for Sejda Web because you do >3 things an hour, our Pro tier costs less and removes the watermark on free output too.
- If you build software, the API is the differentiator — Sejda has one but it isn't the product.
- If you handle confidential documents, the page operations you reach for most — merge, split, rotate, crop, redact, page numbers — run in your browser and never upload the file. Sejda uploads for everything.
