In their own words
DocRaptor
DocRaptor is a cloud REST API that converts HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into PDF and XLS documents using the Prince PDF converter. It can create PDF forms and accessible PDFs, and supports mixed page sizes, styles, headers, and footers within one PDF. Listed rendering options include page floats, PDF-specific JavaScript, bookmarks, crop marks, CMYK output, and printer’s marks. The service converts HTML to PDF or XLS/XLSX and does not support Zip files or other file formats. DocRaptor says it has no document input or output size limits and charges the same regardless of document size or generation time. Accounts include unlimited watermarked test documents, and a public test key is available without signing up. The Free plan is free and includes 5 documents per month. Basic is $15 a month for 125 documents per month; Professional is $29 a month for 325, Premium is $75 a month for 1,250, and Max is $149 a month for 5,000. The maker says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with retention configurable for permanent deletion after retrieval.
DynamicPDF Cloud API
DynamicPDF Cloud API provides cloud tools for creating and manipulating PDF documents through REST endpoints and client libraries. Its PDF endpoint can create or modify documents, merge PDFs, and make pages from HTML, Word, images, or DLEX templates. Other listed operations include stamping PDFs, adding barcodes, filling forms, converting images to PDF, encryption, and retrieving text and metadata. An online document and report designer is included. Client libraries are listed for Node.js,.NET, Java, PHP, Go, Python, and Ruby. The maker says the API processes documents in real time across 10 geographic zones and routes requests to the closest zone. Endpoints use HTTPS and authentication tokens; endpoint data and generated results are not stored unless users choose cloud storage. The maker advises against calling endpoints directly from an end-user browser because exposed API keys can be misused. The free plan includes 1,000 pages per day, 10MB of cloud storage, community support, 10 global endpoints, and a watermark. Basic costs $19.95 a month.
