SublimePDF vs DocHub — FAQ

Why does DocHub limit free signing to 3 per month?
DocHub uses cloud processing and storage for every signed document, so the limit encourages upgrades to their $10/month Pro plan. SublimePDF's client-side approach means no server costs and no need for signing limits.
Can SublimePDF integrate with Google Drive?
Not directly. SublimePDF works with local files via drag-and-drop. You can download files from Google Drive and process them in SublimePDF, but there's no seamless integration like DocHub offers.
Is DocHub better for teams?
For Google Workspace teams that need shared templates and signing workflows, DocHub's integration is hard to beat. For individual PDF processing with no account setup, SublimePDF is faster and more private.
Can I use DocHub without a Google account?
Yes — DocHub supports email sign-up in addition to Google accounts. But an account is always required. SublimePDF lets you start working immediately with no sign-up of any kind.
