Accessibility without the huge price tag.
Paridoc costs $0.30 to $0.45 per page per year, depending on how many pages you have. That covers finding your PDFs, converting them, keeping them up to date and serving the accessible versions.

Why it costs less
Manual remediation is priced by the hour of a specialist's time, and every page takes some of it. Paridoc's conversion is automated, and so is everything around it: finding documents, spotting new versions, and converting a file once however many pages link to it. You pay for the documents you have, not for the labor of handling each one.
- DocAccess at $0.60 to $0.75 per page per year, the rates implied by DocAccess agreements and proposals that public agencies have published, 2025–2026. Actual DocAccess pricing varies by agreement.
Questions
What counts as a page?
One page of a PDF. A 12-page agenda is 12 pages. Pages are counted across every document on every site you cover.
Does the same file linked from several pages count more than once?
No. Paridoc identifies documents by their content, so one file linked from ten places is converted and counted once.
What happens when a document changes?
Paridoc notices the new version and converts it again. The accessible version follows the file, so there's nothing to re-upload.
How does this compare with DocAccess?
Contracts that public agencies have published show DocAccess at roughly $0.60 to $0.75 per page per year. Paridoc is $0.30 to $0.45. Full comparison.
