Redactable

Redactable is a web-based platform for finding and permanently removing sensitive information from documents and images. Its AI detects personal, health, financial, and other sensitive patterns; built-in OCR makes scanned documents and image-based PDFs searchable before redaction. The service says it removes hidden metadata, embedded objects, and residual data from redacted files. Supported inputs include PDF, TIFF, PNG, and JPG files, uploaded from a device or through listed integrations such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, SharePoint, and Clio. Teams can use shared workspaces, task assignments, comments, permissions, activity logs, and version history. Redaction certificates and audit logs can document who redacted what and when. Redactable says it is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant, with data stored in the United States. Three documents are free without payment information; after that, pay-as-you-go costs $7.50 per finalized document. Starter costs $19 per month billed annually or $23 monthly, for up to 15 documents per month.

Redactable suits individuals, teams, and compliance-focused organizations handling sensitive documents. Its collaboration and audit features may also suit teams that need records of redaction activity.

The free option allows three documents total without payment information. Starter allows up to 15 documents per month and Pro Plus up to 150, with unlimited pages per document; Enterprise lists high-volume redactions and unlimited OCR processing.

Redactable is a browser-based service for finding and permanently removing sensitive information from documents and images. It is aimed at individuals and compliance-focused teams that need shared review and an audit trail, rather than a simple black-box redaction utility. The strongest case is a documented, automated workflow; the main constraint is that recurring use is metered by document quotas.

Overview

Redactable combines automated discovery with a workflow for reviewing, assigning, and recording redactions. Its AI looks for personally identifiable information, protected health information, financial data, and other sensitive patterns. That makes it useful when files contain more than a predictable set of fields, although automated detection still belongs in a review process for high-consequence documents.

The service is cloud-based and stores data on AWS in the United States. Redactable says document content is processed during the redaction session, is not retained after the job, and is not used to train AI models. It also states that it is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA compliant, with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2-or-higher encryption in transit. Those claims will matter to regulated teams with US residency requirements.

Key features

Built-in OCR turns scanned documents and image-based PDFs into searchable text before redaction. That extends the workflow to files that would otherwise require a separate text-extraction step. Redactable says it removes hidden metadata, embedded objects, and residual data from the output, so the result is intended to be a true removal rather than a visual overlay that might leave underlying content recoverable.

Shared workspaces, task assignments, comments, role-based permissions, activity logs, and version history support multi-person review. Redaction certificates and audit logs capture who performed a redaction, what was handled, and when it happened. This recordkeeping is a meaningful advantage for compliance work, legal review, and internal approvals.

Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, SharePoint, and Clio integrations can bring documents into the workflow and synchronize redacted files. Uploads support PDF, TIFF, PNG, and JPG files, and a native viewer keeps review in the web application. Batch upload supports up to 100 documents at once, with a maximum of 500 MB per file. Production output is PDF, so teams whose downstream process requires other formats should account for that boundary.

Pricing

Redactable has a free allowance of three documents with no payment information required. After those documents, Pay-As-You-Go costs $7.50 per document, charged when a document is finalized. This is the sensible route for occasional work, but the per-document charge can become expensive for a steady queue.

Starter costs $19 per month when billed annually, or $23 per month on a monthly term. It allows up to 15 documents per month, with unlimited pages per document. The plan suits an individual or small team with a modest number of large files; it gives up the flexibility of per-document billing in exchange for a predictable quota.

Pro Plus is $79 per month with annual billing, or $99 per month monthly, and raises the allowance to 150 documents per month with unlimited pages per document. It is the more practical tier for regular team processing, provided the workload stays within the document count.

Enterprise uses custom pricing and is aimed at high-volume redactions. It adds unlimited OCR processing, SSO, and priority support. Buyers needing those controls or more than the listed monthly quotas should discuss volume and requirements directly. The pricing page lists plans for individuals, teams, and enterprise workflows; priority support is specifically included with Enterprise.

Platforms

Redactable runs on the web and is deployed as a private-cloud service. Files can come from device uploads or the supported storage and case-management integrations. There is no stated desktop, mobile, self-hosted, or API deployment in the available platform lineup, so organizations standardizing on browser access will be the natural fit.

Who it's for

Choose Redactable for compliance teams, legal or healthcare operations, and individuals who need sensitive-data detection, OCR, permanent removal, and defensible records in one browser workflow. It is particularly well matched to teams that collaborate on review and need permissions, assignments, and certificates.

It is less suitable for organizations that require self-hosting or non-web clients, need production formats beyond PDF, or process volumes that routinely exceed a monthly document quota. Unlimited pages help with long files, but quotas count documents rather than pages.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad detection: AI targets PII, PHI, financial data, and other patterns.
• Safer file output: claimed removal of metadata, embedded objects, and residual data goes beyond covering text visually.
• Auditable collaboration: workspaces, permissions, assignments, history, certificates, and logs support accountable review.
• Useful intake options: six listed storage integrations plus OCR and batch uploads cover varied document sources.
• Regulated-workflow positioning: stated SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, US storage, and encryption controls address common compliance questions.

Cons

• Document quotas: Starter and Pro Plus cap monthly document counts even though pages per document are unlimited.
• Pay-as-you-go cost: $7.50 per finalized document is convenient for sporadic use but unattractive for sustained volume.
• Web and PDF boundaries: the listed deployment is web-only and production output is PDF.
• Enterprise pricing: high-volume processing, unlimited OCR, SSO, and priority support require a custom quote.

Alternatives

GoldFynch is a better fit when an eDiscovery case model matters: its free case includes one case, 512 MB stored, and 1 GB processed for 90 days, with a 3 GB case at $27 per month.

Verdict

Redactable is a strong choice for individuals and compliance-focused teams that want AI-assisted detection, OCR, permanent file sanitization, collaborative review, and audit records in a web application. Start with the free allowance or pay per document for occasional work; choose Starter or Pro Plus when monthly volume is predictable. Look elsewhere if you need self-hosting, non-PDF production, or a pricing model that scales by pages or storage instead of document counts.

Redactable combines sensitive-data detection, OCR, collaboration, and redaction records in a browser-based workflow. Consider the free allowance and document limits when choosing between pay-as-you-go and a monthly plan.
