What Biffer gives you, from the very first file
The same benefits in all three plans: only the number of files you process changes.
Time saved
Biffer finds names, emails, IBANs and the numbers specific to your profession in a few seconds. You review, you approve, it is ready.
Your data stays with you
Everything happens on your computer, offline: every file and every excerpt stays on your machine.
GDPR and professional secrecy
You share pseudonymized documents: concrete help in complying with the GDPR and your professional secrecy obligations.
AI answers unredacted
The encrypted mapping table puts the real values back into the text returned by ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
No subscription
Free for five files per month, or €10 excl. VAT paid only once for unlimited use. Nothing renews.
Biffer or an online subscription: what changes for you
A single payment, clear plans, every feature for everyone. The only difference between the free plan and the unlimited plan is the number of files processed per month. A firm that redacts two contracts a month can stay on the free plan with complete peace of mind; a department that prepares files every day buys one license per computer and works without a second thought. Compared with online anonymization services sold by subscription, the difference shows on four points.

We designed this model so that occasional use is free and daily use costs less than a lunch, once and for all. Every plan relies on the same application, available on the download Biffer page, and on the same principle: processing happens on your computer, as our offline software page explains.
How sign-in and the key work
The first time you open it, Biffer asks for your email address and sends you a confirmation link. One click on that link, and the software receives a key tied to your address and to your computer's identifier. The key is then checked locally, offline: you can disconnect from the network and Biffer keeps working. Your email address is enough, you do not need a password. The sign-in only serves to deliver the key; your files and the content of your jobs stay on your computer, and the free plan's monthly counter is kept on your computer.
With the free plan, the key carries the limit of five files per month. With the unlimited plan, the license is activated in the software, from Settings, with the email address used for the order: the limit is lifted for good on the version purchased. One payment covers one computer: if you work on a Mac at the office and a PC at home, you need two licenses. The license is tied to that computer and valid for life for the current version; a new computer, or a system reinstall that changes its identifier, calls for a new license. How the software works is described in detail on the Biffer features page.
A custom version for your business
Some organizations need more than a license. The custom plan meeting is a chance to talk it through simply, and we cover four areas:
- Specific data formats: exports from your business software, internal nomenclatures, file templates.
- Large volumes of documents, processed without slowing your teams down.
- Server-side and automated operations: batch processing, integration of Biffer with your tools and document templates.
- Full customization: your colors, your logo, your labels, detection fields and replacement rules specific to your business.
We build these adaptations on quote, with deployment across all computers, a single invoice and, if you wish, team training delivered by Romain Rissoan, a trainer by profession. The starting point is a thirty-minute meeting to understand your documents, your confidentiality constraints and the number of computers: book a meeting. You leave with a costed proposal within a few days. The custom plan rests on the same offline principle: your files stay with you, on your computers or your servers, customization included.
Buying for a team
When you order, on the get Biffer page, choose the quantity: you get as many licenses as users, and you enter each person's email address. Each colleague receives their key by email, opens Biffer with that address and activates their unlimited license in the software, from Settings. Licenses are assigned by email and each one is tied to a computer, in line with the "one license per computer" rule.
For a larger deployment (several dozen computers, single invoice, purchase order), write to us at contact@biffer.fr: we draw up a quote and create the licenses for you, without going through online payment. Biffer is published by Opcadia, a Lyon company run by Romain Rissoan, trainer and consultant; full legal details are in our terms of sale.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price before or after VAT, and do I get an invoice?
The displayed price is €10 excl. VAT per computer. French VAT at 20% applies, making €12 incl. VAT, the amount you pay by card at checkout on Stripe. You enter your billing details and, if you have one, your EU VAT number directly on the payment page: the invoice in your company's name is sent to you by email, with an instant receipt. VAT-registered businesses recover the VAT under the usual rules. For any question about an invoice, write to contact@biffer.fr.
What happens when I reach five files in a month?
Biffer warns you from the fourth file and, at the fifth, shows the number of days left before the counter resets, which happens on the first day of the following month. You can still open the software, check your settings and prepare your files; new jobs resume the following month, or right away if you switch to the unlimited plan. Switching takes a few minutes on the purchase page; the license is then activated in Biffer, from Settings, and removes the limit immediately, without reinstalling.
Can I use the same license on Mac and PC?
A license covers one computer, whatever its operating system. Biffer for Mac and Biffer for PC are two products at the same price, €10 excl. VAT each. If you work on two machines, you need two licenses, which you can buy in a single order by choosing the quantity. And the free plan is available on every computer where you sign in, each with its own counter of five files per month.
Will a new version cost extra?
The license covers the current version for life: all its regular updates (fixes, detection improvements, new profession fields) are included at no extra cost. A following major version, bringing new capabilities, will be a new purchase on the same basis, €10 excl. VAT per computer. You remain free to upgrade or not: the version you bought keeps working, and the free plan remains available on every version.
Can I get a refund?
You have the fourteen-day right of withdrawal provided by the French Consumer Code, unless you asked for immediate performance by generating your unlimited key, which counts as an express waiver for digital content supplied without a physical medium (Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code, available on Légifrance, in French). Before buying, try it for free: the free plan gives access to every feature on five files per month, which is enough to check that Biffer suits your documents.
