APITemplate.io and Printmint both make PDFs from a template and JSON data. The difference is how you build the template: APITemplate.io has visual editors, Printmint has HTML with Jinja tags that you keep in code.

Choose APITemplate.io if
- People who don't write HTML design the templates. Its visual editors and stock images are made for them.
- You build in Zapier, Make, n8n or Airtable and want their native integrations.
Choose Printmint if
- Your templates live in your codebase and go through code review: they're HTML files with Jinja tags.
- You want a missing field to fail loudly (a 400 naming the line) instead of printing a blank.
- You print a lot of PDFs: 3,000 a month is $10, 30,000 is $50.
