ionCube Decoder Pricing: How Much Does It Cost?

Understanding ionCube decoder pricing helps you budget for your decoding project. This guide covers all costs, discounts, and payment options.

Per-File Pricing Model

We use a simple per-file pricing model — no subscriptions, no monthly fees:

Standard Files

• Cost: $5 per file
• Best for: Basic ionCube encoding without advanced protection
• Includes: Full decode, source reconstruction, all functions and classes

Protected Files

• Cost: $15 per file
• Best for: Files with runtime protection and encrypted sections
• Includes: Everything in Standard plus protected section recovery

Complex Files

• Cost: $25 per file
• Best for: Heavily protected files with maximum protection
• Includes: Everything in Protected plus deep analysis and priority processing

Bulk Discounts

Processing many files? Automatic discounts apply:

The discount applies automatically based on the number of files in your upload.

Credits System

Our system uses credits (1 credit = 1 cent):

• Purchase credits in advance
• Credits deducted per file decoded
• Credits never expire
• Failed decodes automatically refund credits

Tips to Save Money

1. Use the free trial first — verify quality before buying

4. Buy credits in bulk — large credit packages may offer better value

Update: SourceGuardian support is now included

PHPDecompile now supports both ionCube and SourceGuardian protected PHP files. If your project contains a mix of protected vendor files, abandoned modules, or legacy PHP packages, you can use the same upload, trial preview, progress tracking, and download workflow for both supported encoders.
