The Best Overleaf Alternative
for Student Teams & Labs.
Overleaf is great for solo researchers. LetX is built for teams, labs, and co-authors.
Stop fighting restrictive free tiers and start collaborating.
We Don't Punish Free Users
Other platforms block git integration and collaboration to force upgrades.
LetX Free Tier includes:
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.
Switching is Instant
Don't worry about compatibility. LetX runs standard TeX Live.
Export .zip
Download "Source" from your Overleaf project.
Drag & Drop
Drop the file into your LetX dashboard.
Keep Writing
Your images, bib files, and structure appear instantly.
Real Collaboration, No Limits
Group projects shouldn't be blocked by paywalls. Overleaf's free tier limits you to one collaborator.
LetX gives unlimited real-time collaborators on every plan, including Free. We believe science grows when people work together.
