Start with planning, and add files and workflow when you're ready.
Every plan: unlimited users, teammates and freelancers alike, always free. You pay for concurrent projects and pages, never per person.

Frequently Asked Questions
What decides my plan size?
The number of projects you can run at the same time. A project takes a slot when you start it and frees it the moment it is finished or paused, so your plan tracks the work in flight, not your headcount.
Are teammates and freelancers really free?
Yes. Invite as many teammates and freelancers as you like on every plan. They are always free and never counted toward your plan.
What happens when I exceed my page limit?
Pages beyond your plan's included amount are billed at $0.15 per page, per direction. Pages are metered per direction, so one source page into one language is one page, and the same page into a second language counts again. Overages are calculated and billed at the end of each billing period, with no surprises mid-month.
What's the founding studio deal?
Our first 20 studios lock in founding pricing for 12 months. After the pilot period, standard pricing applies. You get a significant discount for being an early adopter and helping shape the product.
Can I upgrade or downgrade?
Yes, anytime. Changes are prorated, so you only pay for what you use.
What file formats are supported?
PSD, TIFF, JPG, and PNG. Source files and editor typeset layers are preserved separately. Deliver original PSD + editing layers to clients, or use our composited final output.
Can I use it without uploading files?
Yes. You can use Zfuro purely for planning: create series, chapters, assign teams, and schedule production without uploading a single file. Many studios start with planning and add asset management and workflow later.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan is $0 forever: 1 active project, 500 pages a month, and 5 GB of storage, with unlimited teammates and freelancers. No credit card, and no AI. Upgrade any time for more projects, pages, storage, and AI.
Does AI replace my translators?
No. AI provides first-pass drafts and OCR text extraction; it handles the grunt work. Your human translators refine, proofread, and ensure the quality that publishers demand. Your team stays in control.
