Doppio Premium is $16 a month for up to 4,000 documents and 5 templates. Its free Basic plan allows up to 400 documents a month with 1 template and no credit card.

Api2Pdf has one plan: $1 a month plus $0.001 per MB of bandwidth and $0.00019551 per second of compute. New accounts get one month of free credit, the $1 charge begins 30 days after the first sign up, and Api2Pdf gives no refunds because its minimum cost is $1.00.

CraftMyPDF and APITemplate.io: templates in place of your own HTML

CraftMyPDF replaces hand-written HTML with a drag-and-drop template editor fed with JSON, and it says the editor needs no HTML or CSS knowledge. At $29 a month, billed monthly, Lite covers 1,200 PDFs or images and 6 templates. The editor also has an HTML component that renders HTML and CSS inside a template. The CraftMyPDF Free plan gives 50 PDFs or images a month, ten times the 5 documents on DocRaptor's free plan.

APITemplate.io is the sister product of CraftMyPDF, per CraftMyPDF's About page, which also names APITemplate.io for HTML to PDF conversion through an API. Its PDF Basic plan is $24 a month on the Bill Monthly view, with 3,000 PDFs and 20 templates. The HTML to PDF API guide covers the code route.
