What Typst is
Typst is a freemium publishing service from a company founded in 2023 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany. It is available on the web, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Listed capabilities include publishing tools, real-time collaboration, and advanced export formats. The Free plan costs nothing, is billed free forever, and includes 200 MB of storage with 100 files per project. Pro costs $7.99 a month, billed monthly, and provides 2 GB of storage with 1,000 files per project. An On-Premises plan is listed with no price and supports five organization members. Typst does not provide version history or offline mode, so document work depends on its online environment and does not include built-in access to earlier versions. The service is therefore centered on creating and publishing documents while collaborating in real time. People comparing plans can start with the free allowance, then consider Pro for larger storage and project file limits. Those needing on-premises deployment must request pricing for that option.
