Metadata-driven document management platform for organizing and automating business documents and approvals.
Public per-seat pricing for Essentials; quote-based enterprise pricing for Enterprise; additional services and add-ons are sold separately or via sales contact.
The official pricing FAQ says M-Files subscriptions are typically billed annually, though other billing options may be available depending on deployment and agreement terms. Essentials has public pricing, but Enterprise is quote-based and tailored to the organization’s scale, governance requirements, automation needs, and AI usage. The page does not disclose a published seat minimum, trial length on the pricing page itself, or discount schedule, although the FAQ says larger or more complex deployments may qualify for volume-based pricing. Public-facing pages also indicate that implementation services, managed services, and some collaboration or AI-related capabilities may be sold separately.

Expected costNot publicly disclosed for Foundation.The only public list price in the supplied documents is Essentials at $65 per seat per month. Enterprise is custom and requires a sales quote.

The pricing FAQ says M-Files subscriptions are typically billed annually. It also notes that other billing options may be available depending on deployment and agreement terms. So while the page shows Essentials as $65 per seat per month, buyers should confirm the contract cadence during procurement.
No. The official pricing page lists Enterprise as Custom and says to talk to sales for a quote. The FAQ explains that Enterprise pricing is tailored to the organization and is not based on user count alone. This makes Enterprise a quote-only tier rather than a public rate card item.
The current cloud package announcement says AI capabilities are included across all cloud packages, and the pricing page lists Aino usage capacity included in Essentials with additional AI capabilities in Enterprise. However, the legacy platform editions page also says additional AI inquiries may be purchased separately and that Aino usage is limited in certain subscriptions. Buyers should confirm the exact AI allowance for the edition they plan to buy.
The pricing FAQ says yes, larger or more complex deployments may qualify for volume-based pricing. The public page does not publish a discount percentage or a formal volume discount schedule. Buyers with larger user counts or broader governance needs should expect a sales conversation rather than a self-serve checkout price.
