Paid plans start at €4.17/mo. There's also a free plan.
Photopea has a free plan, and Premium starts at €4.17 per user/month when bought as a 365-day pass. That is an annualized rate, not a monthly subscription: Premium is prepaid for 30, 90 or 365 days and does not auto-renew. The 30-day Single User pass is €8. Teams start at €20 per 30-day pass for up to five users. Free includes ads, 0.5 GB PeaDrive storage and about one AI action a day.

02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
Prepay, don’t subscribe
Premium passes cover 30, 90 or 365 days and do not auto-renew; €4.17/month is the 365-day price divided by 12.
AI allowance varies
Free includes about one AI action per day; Single User lists 3,000 AI credits monthly. Team plans list AI credits but no amount.
Self-hosting update fees
The 12-month self-hosted license costs $6,000–$24,000 upfront; updates beyond two free per year cost $300 each.
Whitelabel pricing is custom
Basic iframe embedding is free, but whitelabel and API pricing is custom and not published.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Occasional individual editing | Free | It costs nothing and includes about one AI action a day, but expect ads and 0.5 GB of PeaDrive storage. |
| One-person ad-free editing | Premium (Single User) | Choose it for an ad-free workspace, 5 GB of PeaDrive storage and 3,000 AI credits monthly; the 365-day pass is €50 annualized. |
| Small editing team | Premium (Team of 5) | It covers up to five users for €20 per 30-day pass or €12.50 per user/month equivalent on a 365-day pass. |
04Is Photopea worth the money?
Photopea is worth paying for if its browser-based workflow fits and you need more than the free plan’s ad-supported workspace, storage or AI allowance. Its strongest price point is the free tier; Premium’s €4.17 monthly equivalent looks low, but requires a year prepaid. Team plans have clear user caps, while self-hosted pricing starts at $6,000 for 12 months and distributor pricing is unpublished. For occasional work, start free and upgrade only when its limits matter.
Photopea pricing FAQ
How much does the Photoshop app cost?
The published Photopea pricing information does not list Adobe Photoshop’s price, so we can’t give a sourced figure here. Photopea itself has a free plan; Premium starts at €4.17 per user/month equivalent on a 365-day prepaid pass.
Is Photopea very similar to Photoshop?
Photopea opens and saves PSD files, which its homepage calls its main format, and includes layers, masks, smart objects and filters. That overlap does not establish feature-for-feature parity with Photoshop; the published information does not make that comparison.
Is there a free version of Photoshop?
The published information does not state whether Photoshop has a free version. It does confirm that Photopea has a free plan, with ads, 0.5 GB of PeaDrive storage, standard history steps and about one AI action per day.
Is Photopea open source?
The published Photopea information does not say whether the editor is open source. A free plan does not by itself establish that a product’s source code is publicly available, so we can’t confirm open-source status from these sources.
