BetterMerge vs CraftMyPDF

BetterMerge sends personalized mail-merge campaigns from Gmail using contacts and merge fields in Google Sheets. Spreadsheet columns can customize subject lines, email bodies, links, images, and attachments, including files from Google Drive. Campaigns can be scheduled with daily limits, sending days, time ranges, and delays. Open, click, and unsubscribe activity is tracked and can be written back to Sheets. BetterMerge lists API access and connects with Gmail, Sheets, and Drive. It says Gmail permission is send-only, without access to read, search, or delete mailbox messages. Its policy says campaign and tracking information plus encrypted OAuth tokens are stored, while Sheets contents, sent email content, Drive files, and Gmail history are not. Data is processed in US-East Hetzner facilities. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 50 emails daily, one sender, up to five campaigns monthly, and open and click tracking. Gmail.com accounts are limited to 500 emails daily on any plan.

CraftMyPDF is a cloud service for designing reusable templates and generating PDFs or images from dynamic data. Its browser-based drag-and-drop editor supports text, images, QR codes, barcodes, shapes, tables, charts and other elements. Templates can take JSON, CSV or connected workflow data, with built-in expressions and custom JavaScript functions for formatting and calculations. The editor also creates fillable PDFs with text fields, dropdowns, option lists, checkboxes, radio buttons and signature fields. AI and computer vision can detect fields in uploaded PDFs and prepare them for data mapping. Documents can be generated in bulk, through no-code automation integrations or through a REST API. Listed integrations include Zapier, Make.com, Bubble.io, Backendless, HubSpot, FlutterFlow, n8n and Coda.io. Regional rendering endpoints are offered in the US, Europe, Singapore and Australia. CraftMyPDF says it completed a SOC 2 Type II audit. The free plan includes 50 PDFs or images per month and three templates; paid plans start at $29/mo. Each PDF uses one credit regardless of page count, and unused monthly credits do not roll over.
