Their cloud version is available at [overleaf.com](https://www.overleaf.com/). It provides a full-featured online LaTeX editor. However, Overleaf Common (SaaS version) has numerous feature limitations, and you have to tolerate a ***10-second compilation time limit*** and expensive membership fees. Although Overleaf offers an open-source community version (available on [GitHub: Overleaf](https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf)), it also has many limitations, for example: Overleaf Community Edition is intended for use in environments where **all** users are trusted. Community Edition is **not** appropriate for scenarios where isolation of users is required because Sandbox Compiles are not available. Without sandboxing, LaTeX compiles run with the same privileges as the container, allowing access to its filesystem, network, and environment variables. This creates a risk of data exposure or system compromise. Non-sandboxed compiles should only be used in fully trusted environments; for multi-user or production deployments, Sandbox Compiles are strongly recommended. For more information on Sandbox Compiles see: [sandboxed-compiles.md](/on-premises/configuration/overleaf-toolkit/sandboxed-compiles "mention") ### Information and Price about Overleaf Server Pro The Overleaf website only provides an entrance to contact support for Server Pro, so information about Server Pro is very limited. But based on the information we have collected in the community, the **quota for Server Pro is**: * You need to purchase licenses for *at least* 10 people. * A 10-person license costs about €3,477.61. (2024) * For education, 20 users cost 2640 Euro per year, 50 users 6050 Euro, and 100 users 9963 Euro. * Server Pro is only available in select regions (e.g., excluding mainland China). Based on the information currently available, Overleaf Server Pro appears to cost around \$300 per user per year, with a minimum purchase of 10 licenses, making it a very expensive option. Moreover, Server Pro offers significantly fewer features than Ayakaleaf Pro. We are deeply grateful to the community developers whose contributions over the years have made it possible for us to build Ayakaleaf Pro and ultimately surpass Overleaf Server Pro in both functionality and capabilities. The following public records show documented Overleaf Server Pro purchases and pricing. Smaller U.S. contracts indicate annual costs of roughly \$320–\$370 per user. Large institutional agreements can receive lower per-user pricing. For example, the Max Planck Society's three-year agreement averages about €51 per user each year. Contract terms, support, and deployment scope may differ. These records are not an official Overleaf price list. | Institution | Period / Contract | Users | Cost | Evidence | | - | - | -: | -: | - | | πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ NASA | `80NSSC25FA108`, 2024 | Up to 70 | \$24,569.35 | [Source](https://govtribe.com/award/federal-contract-award/delivery-order-nng15sd22b-80nssc25fa108) | | πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ NASA | `80NSSC25FA471`, 2025–26 | β€” | \$36,183.91 | [Source](https://govtribe.com/award/federal-contract-award/delivery-order-nng15sd22b-80nssc25fa471) | | πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ NIH | FY2024 | Up to 25 | \$9,235.05 | [Source](https://nitaac.nih.gov/sites/default/files/2025-01/hhs-all-delivery-task-orders-january-2025.pdf) | | πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Naval Research Laboratory | `N0017323P5005`, 2023–24 | 37 | \~\$11,900 | [Source](https://www.federalcompass.com/fed-contract-award/N0017323P5005) | | πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ NSWC Philadelphia | `N6449821P5224`, 2021–24 | β€” | \~\$24,800 | [Source](https://www.federalcompass.com/fed-contract-award/N6449821P5224) | | πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ U.S. Treasury OFR | `20341524P00017`, 2024–25 | β€” | \~\$19,400 | [Source](https://www.cleat.ai/government/contracts/intent-to-sole-source-overleaf-server-pro-c97o) | | πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Max Planck Society / MPDL | `42823`, 2026–29 | 3,600 | €553,672 | [Source](https://files.auftrag-select.com/file/auftrag-select-public/pdfs/7179931/bekanntmachung.pdf) | | πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ University of Rostock | Since 2023 | β€” | β€” | [Source](https://www.itmz.uni-rostock.de/en/anwendungen/dienste-fuer-forschung/lehre/kollaboration/overleaf/) | | πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Technical University of Munich | Current | β€” | β€” | [Source](https://collab.dvb.bayern/spaces/TUMShareLaTeX/pages/67817359/ShareLaTeX%2BTUM) | | πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ University of Konstanz | Current | β€” | β€” | [Source](https://www.uni-konstanz.de/informatik/inf-system/Sharelatex-de.pdf) | | πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ GWDG | Since at least 2021 | β€” | β€” | [Source](https://info.gwdg.de/news/service-sharelatex-overleaf-degraded-maintenance-on-tue-4pm-2/) | | πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz | Until May 2025 | β€” | β€” | [Source](https://www.en-zdv.uni-mainz.de/2025/04/08/change-at-overleaf-centrally-funded-licence-ends-in-may/) | | πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ von Karman Institute | Since 2020 | 290+ | β€” | [Source](https://www.overleaf.com/blog/welcome-to-our-new-customer-von-karman-institute-for-fluid-dynamics-vki) | | πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Brookhaven National Laboratory | 2021 trial | β€” | β€” | [Source](https://indico.bnl.gov/event/11459/contributions/48931/attachments/35597/57768/SDCC%20Staff%20Meeting%202021-04-22.pdf) | ### Why Ayakaleaf Pro? Ayakaleaf Pro is ***not*** affiliated with Overleaf, Inc. or its parent company, Digital Science. It is also *not Server Pro* Edition, which is a commercial product offered by Overleaf, Inc. [ayaka-notes](https://github.com/ayaka-notes) develops and maintains Ayakaleaf Pro as an independent project. Ayakaleaf Pro is an enhanced implementation of the Overleaf Community Edition, offering ***all*** ***free premium*** features from server pro. Unlike Overleaf Common available at [https://www.overleaf.com/](https://www.overleaf.com/), or commercial edition server pro, we have * ***no limitations*** on compilation time * ***no license*** requirements on the number of users * ***all features*** unlocked from server pro And you can fully self-host your own data, ensuring absolute security!
