pdf.xhub.io vs PDF Generator API
The Estonia-based template SaaS — solid editor, but US default and credit-system.
Why developers move to pdf.xhub.io
- EU-default hosting (theirs: US default with custom enterprise EU only)
- Free 25 docs/month (theirs: 14-day trial only, then €80/50 credits)
- White-label from Studio €49 (theirs: enterprise-only)
- TypeScript-first SDK (theirs: auto-generated)
- Async-job API + webhooks first-class (theirs: callback URL only)

PDF Generator API ships a capable WYSIWYG editor and is a fair pick if you are already on their stack. For EU-first projects, transparent doc-counting, and modern TypeScript DX, pdf.xhub.io is the cleaner default.
