Feature comparison
As we were scouring the web for some potential competitors for PDF Generator API, we came across four platforms with similar features. Here is our take on what makes PDF Generator API stand out from the crowd.
iText DITO allows you to design low-code PDF generation solutions with a number of functionalities. It lacks the ability to design templates with multiple pages and hide/show pages when/as needed. It is comprised of three parts: an intuitive front-end WYSIWYG template designer, a PDF production SDK/API developed on the esteemed iText 7 SDK, and the new iText DITO Manager to make template creation and resource management easier. No pricing plans are shown for a Cloud option so you would need to ask for a custom plan. This is especially limiting for companies with a smaller number of documents.
It seems the PDF customization and generation tools market is quite abundant and there are many companies battling it out for the attention of customers. However, we also see that PDF Generator API has some features that are unmatched by any of the other platforms. Among other features, we are the only ones that offer our clients support video calls and last, but not least - we are by far the most cost competitive platform among the whole bunch. Not to mention, the most technically capable. So please - do check out PDF Generator API and sign up for the 3-month, no obligation sandbox account!
