Comparison
Foliqo vs Sejda
Updated July 13, 2026
Sejda's free plan caps you at 3 tasks per hour and a 50MB/200-page file limit. See how Foliqo's unlimited, upload-free alternative compares.
Sejda is a genuinely capable free PDF editor, arguably the closest to Foliqo in what it lets you do — including editing existing text in a document. The catch is the free tier’s metering: Sejda’s own editor displays the limit directly, "Free service for documents up to 200 pages or 50 MB and 3 tasks per hour." Cross that line and you either wait out the clock hour or upgrade.

Where Foliqo differs most
Sejda’s 3-tasks-per-hour cap exists because each task runs on its servers, which cost money to operate. Foliqo’s editor does the equivalent work — including editing text that’s already in your PDF — inside your own browser tab, so there’s no per-hour counter, no 50MB ceiling, and no file ever leaves your device to be "auto-deleted" later.
When Sejda might still make sense
Sejda’s desktop app, OCR, and API access go beyond what a purely browser-based tool provides, and its editor is a solid choice for occasional use within the free limits. For frequent editing without watching a task counter or a file-size ceiling, Foliqo’s unlimited, upload-free approach is the more direct fit.
Sejda’s pricing and limits reflect its publicly stated terms as of July 2026 and may change — check sejda.com/pdf-editor for their current details.
Frequently asked questions
- What is Sejda’s free plan limit?
- Sejda’s own editor states it plainly: "Free service for documents up to 200 pages or 50 MB and 3 tasks per hour." Once you hit 3 tasks, you wait out the hour or upgrade.
- Does Sejda upload my file?
- Yes. Sejda processes files on its servers and says it deletes them automatically after 2 hours. Foliqo instead keeps your file in your browser’s memory the entire time — it never gets uploaded in the first place.
- Is there a task limit on Foliqo like Sejda’s 3-per-hour cap?
- No. Foliqo has no hourly or daily task counter at all, since there’s no shared server processing your files that would need one.
