easyPDF Cloud API vs PdfGen

easyPDF Cloud API is a cloud service for generating, converting, and automating PDF work. It handles Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, and image files, and can be called from .NET, Node.js, PHP, and Java. Listed conversions include those formats and plain text to PDF, as well as PDF to Word; files can also be combined into a PDF. Users can arrange operations into workflows, for example converting multiple documents and merging the results. Dropbox folders can be used as conversion sources and destinations. Registered free accounts include 2 OCR pages, with more available through separate credit packages. The API uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials and requires HTTPS requests. The API guide says users should contact the maker to obtain production status for full REST API access. Free Guest and Basic plans are listed, alongside paid annual subscriptions and one-time API credit packages. Basic includes 50MB storage and a 5MB maximum upload; Professional includes 200MB storage and a 25MB maximum upload. The homepage says BCL Technologies' easyPDFCloud is part of the PDFTron family of companies.

PdfGen is a cloud platform for generating PDFs from HTML templates, including invoices, reports, certificates, contracts, guides, and proposals. It provides a code editor powered by Monaco, a rich text editor, and live PDF preview. Templates can use plain text, structured object, or tabular variables, and variable definitions can generate data-entry forms. For rendering, users can choose iText for metadata-rich output or Puppeteer/Chromium for web-to-PDF conversion. Its REST API manages templates, variables, and document generation; an MCP server connects with coding agents including Cursor and Claude Desktop. TypeScript and Python client libraries are available. Listed integrations include GitHub template sync, Google Fonts, Stripe, and AI providers Anthropic Claude, OpenRouter, MiniMax, and DeepSeek. Organizations offer Admin and User roles, email invitations, and shared templates, variables, and documents. The site says generation runs in isolated server-side environments, stored content is encrypted at rest, API keys are SHA-256 hashed, and data in transit uses TLS. Plans set monthly document allowances; extra documents use plan-specific credits. Pricing ranges from free to €25 a month.
