The free plan is personal use only, so a business app needs a paid plan. Uploadcare handles file uploading, storage, processing and CDN delivery, with an upload widget and an API. The Free plan includes 1,000 operations a month, 5 GB of traffic, 1 GB of storage and a 500 MB maximum file size, and the pricing page marks it as personal use only. Pro is $66 a month on the yearly toggle ($79 monthly) with 5,000 operations and 3 team members. Business is $166 yearly ($199 monthly) and includes 50,000 operations, 125 GB of traffic and 50 GB of storage, then $0.8 per 1,000 operations and $0.25 per GB. Limits are soft, and overage fees apply automatically. G2 shows 4.6 from 10 reviews and Capterra 4.8 from 29, and both mention price for high file volumes.

👎 Watch out
−The pricing page marks the Free plan as personal use only, so a business app needs Pro at $66 a month on the yearly toggle ($79 monthly).
−Free is 1,000 operations a month, 1 GB of storage and a 500 MB maximum file size. Pro raises the file limit to 1 GB, and Business to 10 GB.
−G2 says some reviewers note the pricing can be a bit expensive for certain plans. A Capterra review says the price is a little expensive for a high quantity of files.
−The subscription fee is paid upfront and covers a set amount of usage. Uploadcare accepts major credit and debit cards, not PayPal, with bank transfer for Enterprise.
−The review sample is small: 10 on G2, 29 on Capterra and 2 on Trustpilot, which shows 2.9.
−The pricing page's meta description mentions a 14-day trial, but Capterra lists a free trial as not available, so confirm before you plan around one.
The catch
The Free plan is marked personal use only on the pricing page, so use it for side projects and testing. A product that earns money should plan on Pro.
Usage is metered in operations, traffic and storage. Business includes 50,000 operations, 125 GB of traffic and 50 GB of storage, then charges $0.8 per 1,000 operations and $0.25 per GB. The limits are soft, and overages are charged automatically, so you do not get cut off, you get billed.
Only original files count against storage, not transformed copies.
The page's meta text mentions a 14-day trial, while Capterra shows no free trial. G2 and Capterra reviewers both mention price for high volumes of files.

Change history
Checked October 22, 2026
Rewrote from the current pricing page (Free, Pro $66 yearly, Business $166 yearly), G2 (4.6 from 10) and Capterra (4.8 from 29). The existing row pointed to a developer hub, so the pricing URL was updated.
