Prices verified June 2026 from each provider's pricing page. PDFFleet includes the most PDFs per dollar on paid tiers and flat pricing with no per-document overage fees — Pro is $29 for 150,000 PDFs. Note: Paperplane's free tier (1,000/mo) is larger than PDFFleet's (100/mo); PDFFleet's edge is paid-volume pricing (≈10× cheaper per PDF than Paperplane, ≈80× cheaper per PDF than DocRaptor's published entry tier).
POST HTML inline, or pass a URL and we render the live page. Full CSS, web fonts, backgrounds, images — Chromium-grade fidelity.
Store a template once, render it with different data. Mustache-style {{field}} substitution — ideal for invoices, reports, certificates.
A0 through A6, Letter, Legal, Tabloid. Control margins, background rendering, and wait-for-selector timing — all via the options object.
Bearer-token auth with per-key rate limiting and a monthly quota. Check usage anytime via GET /v1/usage. No surprise bills.
Need more than 150,000/mo? Contact us for a custom volume tier. No per-document overage fees — ever.
