PDFFleet vs Vector Express v2.0
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.
Vector Express chains together open-source conversion engines (Ghostscript, UniConvertor, libcdr, hp2xx, and others) to translate vector graphics across CAD and illustration formats including AI, DWG, DXF, EPS, and SVG. The core API is free under shared rate limits, while a pay-as-you-go tier removes those limits and raises the file-size ceiling; it sends no CORS headers, so browser calls need a server-side proxy.
