Kofax Pricing Explained: TotalAgility, Capture, Power PDF, and Tungsten Automation Cost

Last updated July 2026. Power PDF prices come from Tungsten Automation's own product pages. The TotalAgility starting figure is Capterra's listing, and the licensing and cost commentary is from PeerSpot reviewers, not from the vendor. Kofax and Tungsten Automation publish no list price for their capture platforms, so every capture figure below is an indicator rather than a quote. Confirm current numbers with Tungsten Automation or your reseller.

Kofax pricing at a glance

The single most useful thing to get straight is that Kofax sells two very different kinds of product under one brand, and only one of them has a shelf price. Power PDF is a desktop PDF editor with published perpetual licenses. Tungsten Capture and TotalAgility are enterprise platforms sold by quote. If you are shopping for invoice data extraction, you are shopping in the second group, and the sticker on the first group tells you nothing useful. Here is the honest comparison.

What Kofax really costs for invoice processing

Because the capture products are quote-only, the honest way to plan is to build the total from its parts rather than hunt for a headline number. There are four lines to price. The first is the platform license itself, scoped by annual page or document volume, the modules you enable, and concurrent user counts. The second is implementation, which on a capture project usually means a certified partner configuring batch classes, document separation, extraction rules, validation screens, and the export connector into your ERP. The third is integration and testing against the systems on either side. The fourth is annual maintenance and support, which renews every year and is normally a percentage of license value.

Public data points exist but they are indicators, not quotes. Capterra lists Tungsten TotalAgility with a starting price of $10,000 per feature as a one-time figure, with a free trial available and no free version. Reviewers on PeerSpot describe concurrent user licensing with several configurations and call the platform expensive, while noting it is less than some competing platforms. Those are useful for setting expectations before a sales call. They are not a price list, and no honest page should present them as one.

The most useful thing a Kofax reviewer has said about cost

One implementation specialist quoted on PeerSpot made the point better than any vendor comparison could: the cost is worth it when an organization leverages the platform across multiple processes, but if an organization just goes with invoice processing, it may not be worth it. That is the whole buying decision in one sentence. Kofax and Tungsten Automation price for breadth, so the economics work when you are capturing claims, forms, contracts, onboarding packets, and invoices on one platform with a team to run it. Buy it for invoices alone and you are paying for a platform whose main advantage you will never switch on.

Kofax pricing vs a flat invoice tool

Put a scoped capture project next to a flat monthly plan and the gap is the story for invoice-only teams. InvoiceExtractor is $49 a month on Starter with a generous page allowance and $149 a month on Plus, with full line items and multi-page invoices on both, no per-page metering, no partner engagement, and no maintenance renewal. A team running a few hundred to a couple of thousand invoices a month fits inside a flat plan and is live the same afternoon rather than after a configuration project. There is no batch class to define, no extraction rule set to tune per vendor, and no export connector to build, because reading vendor invoices is the only thing the tool does.

If your volume is genuinely enterprise scale across many document types, Kofax may still be the better buy, and that is a fair reason to pay more. The mistake is not choosing Kofax. The mistake is pricing an enterprise capture platform for a job a focused tool finishes in one upload.

Where Kofax is worth the price

Kofax earned its position for a reason. Tungsten Capture has decades of production scanning heritage from high-volume mailroom and back-office work, TotalAgility pairs intelligent document processing with process orchestration and RPA, and ReadSoft continues to serve SAP and Oracle-centric accounts payable shops. On-premises and private-cloud deployment is available, which matters in regulated environments where cloud upload is restricted. When invoices are one queue inside a much larger capture operation, that breadth is exactly what you are paying for. We make the full case on the Kofax alternative page, including where the platform genuinely wins.

Where a flat plan wins for invoices

For turning vendor invoices into structured data, an enterprise agreement pays for headroom you do not need. InvoiceExtractor reads any layout with no template or batch class to build, captures every line item alongside headers, totals, and tax, and exports to Excel, CSV, or JSON on a fixed price. You can see how it compares to the wider field on the best invoice data extraction software page. If you are pricing more than one enterprise capture platform, the ABBYY pricing and Rossum pricing breakdowns cover the same ground with the same discipline about what is published and what is not. Teams that also need approvals and payment runs after extraction usually pair a capture tool with dedicated accounts payable automation software, and getting the extraction step right first keeps every downstream approval fed with clean numbers.
