Pricing model with qualification tiers
Transparent list price — margin for qualified partners and integrators.
- List price Basic 3¢ / Premium 4¢ / Ultra 10¢ per page
- Partner tier (integrator) 40% margin — entry via the partner application
- Elite tier 70% margin — reachable from within the partner program, evaluated individually
The path to 70% goes through partnership: first become a partner (40%), then Elite qualification. This also applies to direct customers with their own volume.
The margin compensates integration, first-level support and solution ownership. Direct customers pay the same list price — nobody pays more because of the partner model.
Key differences
PaperOffice AI
- API-first + MCP-native (same Bearer as REST).
- Per-page / credits from 3¢ (Basic / Premium / Ultra).
- EU hosting, WORM/GoBD, legal hold and audit trail natively.
Three decision axes
1

When evaluating Skribble (skribble), teams check: Versus Skribble (skribble), the first question is whether word/line geometry and a searchable sandwich PDF exist on the object.

2
MCP-native follow-up in the skribble context
Scan source and ZIP import land in the same lifecycle as live uploads. That keeps the skribble comparison honest: full stack instead of an endpoint. Connectors store results without mirroring the competitor cloud account.
3
EU inference without hyperscaler mandate vs Skribble
Audit trail and WORM native — sovereignty answer to Skribble: Penetration tests cover the same hosting path as production. Batch jobs scale on the owned cluster instead of marketplace SKUs.
