EverPresent Pricing, Explained
If you searched "EverPresent pricing" and couldn't find a per-tape number, that's not you — it's the business model. EverPresent publishes exact rates for photo, slide, and negative scanning, but video, film, and audio transfers are quoted through a consultation: quoted per project after a consultation, plus a one-time $50 order fee. This page collects every number they do publish (read in September 2026) and how it compares with flat-rate services — so you can see what is knowable before a sales call, and what isn't.
Every price EverPresent publishes

| Oversized scans | From $5.99 |
| Album full-page scans | $2.99 per page |

Competitor prices and turnaround checked September 2026 from each company's own published pages. All of these services discount frequently and re-quote by project — confirm your total at checkout.
Note what's missing from that table: tapes. That's the next section.
The unpublished part: video, film, and audio
EverPresent's videotape, film-reel, and audio transfers are priced by consultation — you describe the collection, they quote the project. Two useful reference points from outside the company:
- EverPresent publishes no per-tape video rate anywhere on its own site, so this page prints none. Third-party review figures move with volume, bundling and region, and we can't stand behind them as a price you would be quoted.
- What you can plan on: quoted per project after a consultation, plus a one-time $50 order fee, and a written quote before any work starts.
None of that makes EverPresent a bad deal — it makes it a different product (more on that below). But if you only want tapes turned into files, get the written quote before assuming it's comparable to the flat-rate mail-ins.
How that compares to flat-rate services

When the premium is worth paying
EverPresent's price buys human attention. That's worth real money when:
- The collection is a mixed, disorganized estate — loose photos, albums, reels, and tapes that need sorting before they can even be counted.
- Items are fragile or irreplaceable and you want consultative handling, not a warehouse intake line.
- You genuinely want to delegate the whole project, including the organizing and labeling afterward.
If your situation is simpler — a shelf of ordinary, labeled VHS and camcorder tapes — a flat-rate service digitizes them for a fraction of the cost, and the organizing step EverPresent does by hand can be done with software: TapeSave splits each digitized tape into dated, labeled clips automatically for $9.99 per video.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does EverPresent cost per videotape?
EverPresent doesn't publish a per-tape video price — its pricing page lists exact rates for photos, slides, and negatives, but video, film, and audio transfers are quoted after a consultation — quoted per project after a consultation, plus a one-time $50 order fee. We print no per-tape figure for EverPresent because none is readable on its own site; get the written quote.
What fees does EverPresent publish?
Read off everpresent.com/pricing in September 2026: a service fee on every order ($50, one time); photo prints 98¢ each for the first 200, then 68¢; 35mm slides and negatives on the same tiers; delicate items $1.99 per scan; oversized scans From $5.99; album pages $2.99 per page; USB delivery +$19.99; and extended cloud storage From $25 per year. Video is not on that list.
Why is EverPresent more expensive than mail-in boxes?
You're paying for hands: consultations, hand-organizing of mixed collections, custom labeling, and in some metro areas local pickup and drop-off. Mail-in services like Southtree or Capture run high-volume standardized pipelines at a flat rate; EverPresent sells a bespoke project. For a shoebox of loose, mislabeled, mixed media, that help can be worth it — for 15 ordinary VHS tapes, it's usually overkill.
Is there a cheaper way to get the same result?
For straightforward tapes, yes. At published September 2026 rates: Capture is from $19.99 for a videotape ordered direct; retail partners set their own price; Southtree is ~$15 per tape at list, with frequent sales and output format priced separately; iMemories is $29.99 per tape at list, ~$14.99 with the current promo, plus a SafeShip kit. What those flat-rate services skip is the organizing — but if your collection is already labeled, you can do that part with software instead of paying project rates.
What should I budget for a typical EverPresent project?
EverPresent work is quoted per project after a consultation, plus a one-time $50 order fee — so the only reliable number for your specific collection is the written quote. Get it before you commit; we don't print a project total here because EverPresent doesn't publish one.
Paying project rates just to get organized?
If your tapes are already digitized, TapeSave does the organizing part — splitting long files into dated, labeled clips — starting at $9.99 per video.
