A genuinely free plan

LetX has a free-forever plan — unlimited real-time collaborators, 40 compiles a day, your last 15 versions of history, and every template, with no credit card.

Need more? Pro removes the limits (unlimited compiles, full history, GitHub) for $18/month — or $9 for students. Pay yearly and get two months free, with no year-long lock-in.

Real Collaboration, No Limits

LetX gives unlimited real-time collaborators on every plan — including Free. We believe science grows when people work together.
