Its Pro security features include password protection, restricted access, remote authentication against a user's database, and controls that prevent support staff from viewing private content. The free plan allows five uploads per day and books up to 500 pages, but includes ads and a watermark and lacks advanced editing for adding video and audio. Paid plans start at $12.42 a month.
