The latest update shifts the monetization model from a restricted feature set to a usage-based export limit. While the move makes core tools free, the impact on user sentiment and retention remains unmeasured due to a lack of post-update data. The current verdict is neutral pending further performance signals.

Every tool in Redact is now free, including AI detection, blur and pixelate. You get 3 free exports to start and 1 free export every day after that. If you redact a lot, Redact Pro unlocks unlimited exports with a single purchase. It's not a subscription.
