FAQs

Do I need an account to use PlainBench?

Never. PlainBench tools are free to use with no account, no sign-up, and no subscription.

How do you make money?

We show a minimal amount of display ads around our tools. No creepy tracking tricks, just simple ads that help keep the tools free.

Are my files or text uploaded to a server?

Wherever possible, everything runs locally in your browser (like Word Counter and Age Calculator). If a future tool needs a server, we’ll clearly say so on that page.

Can I suggest a tool?

Yes. Head over to our workshop and submit a request.
