Pdf generation tools

Orshot, Placid and Bannerbear all fill templates with data to produce PDFs, images and videos through an API. They differ mostly in how they charge and who they target.

Orshot has a free plan with 100 credits a month and no card, plus an embedded editor for end users. Placid sells credit plans from 500 to 100,000 a month, and a PDF page costs 2 credits. Bannerbear starts with a free trial of 30 API credits and focuses on branded marketing visuals.
