iLovePDF vs PDFFleet
The developer platform behind iLovePDF has been rebranded iLoveAPI, offering a REST toolkit for manipulating PDFs (merge, split, compress, convert, encrypt, add page numbers) plus editing images in formats like JPG, PNG, HEIC, and WEBP. Authentication exchanges a public/secret key pair for a short-lived JWT bearer token, and new accounts get 2,500 free credits per month before usage-based billing kicks in.
PDFFleet turns raw HTML, live URLs, or Mustache-style templates into print-ready PDFs by driving a headless Chromium engine behind a REST endpoint. Plans scale by monthly render volume, from a no-cost 100-PDF tier up to a 150,000-render Pro plan, with flat pricing and no per-page overage fees.
