EZdoc vs CraftMyPDF Generate content vs. fill templates

EZdoc vs CraftMyPDF — a plain-language comparison

CraftMyPDF and EZdoc both produce PDFs, but they solve different problems at different stages of document creation. The framing matters: CraftMyPDF is a data-fill platform; EZdoc is a generation platform. Understanding that distinction up front prevents you from comparing features that don't map cleanly to each other.

What CraftMyPDF does

CraftMyPDF is a template-first PDF automation platform. You design a reusable template in a browser-based drag-and-drop editor — adding text blocks, images, QR codes, barcodes, tables, charts, and fillable form fields (checkboxes, dropdowns, radio buttons, signature fields). Once the template is designed, you generate PDFs by POSTing JSON data to the REST API or uploading a CSV file to the browser-based bulk generator. Each row of data produces one PDF; a ZIP archive collects the batch. Regional endpoints in the US, EU, Singapore, and Australia reduce latency and support data residency requirements.

CraftMyPDF's enterprise credentials are strong. It holds SOC 2 Type II certification, includes a DPA on all paid plans, and offers BYOS (AWS S3 and Cloudflare R2) on Professional and above. Template versioning — automatic version history on every save with rollback — adds safety for production template changes. No-code integrations include Zapier, Make.com, Bubble.io, n8n, HubSpot, and more.

What CraftMyPDF does not do

CraftMyPDF cannot generate document content. Its only AI feature is computer-vision field detection — scan an uploaded PDF, detect its form fields, and label them for easier API mapping. That is an assistive utility for migrating existing PDFs, not a generation capability. There is no "describe the document and AI writes it" feature anywhere in the product.

There is also no pre-built template library. Every template in your account was designed from scratch by your team. The template limits on each plan (3 on free, 6 on Lite, 15 on Plus) cap how many designs you can store — and for teams managing many document types, Plus at $49/month allows only 15 stored templates. Teams needing 20 or 30 distinct document designs jump to Professional at $99/month.

Batch-generated PDFs from the browser tool expire after 3 hours — you must download them promptly. This is a friction point worth noting for teams running unattended overnight batch jobs.

What EZdoc does differently

EZdoc generates the document from a description. Tell it what you need — an invoice, a vendor proposal, a batch of training certificates — and AI drafts the content, structure, and formatting in about 30 seconds. No template design phase, no drag-and-drop editor, no blank canvas. You refine by chatting, apply brand colors, and export a print-ready PDF.

EZdoc ships 240+ pre-built templates across common document categories — invoices, contracts, certificates, proposals, reports — so you can start from a polished structure rather than from scratch. For batch workflows, upload a CSV and EZdoc produces one personalized document per row natively, without writing code or designing a template first.

For developers, EZdoc's REST API is available on all paid plans and returns finished documents from a generation prompt or CSV input — rather than requiring a pre-designed template for every document type in your pipeline.

Pricing compared

CraftMyPDF's free tier gives 50 PDFs per month and 3 user-created templates, with full API and integration access. Paid plans scale by PDF volume and template storage: Lite $29/month (1,200 PDFs, 6 templates), Plus $49/month (3,000 PDFs, 15 templates), Professional $99/month (12,000 PDFs, 50 templates), Premium $299/month (40,000 PDFs, 1,000 templates). Annual billing saves approximately 17%. Enterprise pricing is available on request above Business tier.

EZdoc starts with 3 free AI generations — no credit card, no template design required. Paid plans are generation- and feature-based with API access on all paid tiers. Contact EZdoc for current plan pricing.

When to choose CraftMyPDF

CraftMyPDF is the right choice if your team needs to merge structured data (JSON or CSV) into precisely designed, reusable PDF templates at volume — and you have the resources to design and maintain those templates. Its SOC 2 Type II certification, DPA, BYOS, and regional endpoints make it credible for enterprise compliance requirements. If your organization already has a data pipeline and needs reliable high-volume template fill, CraftMyPDF is purpose-built for that.

When to choose EZdoc

EZdoc is the right choice if you want the document without designing a template first. If your team doesn't have the design bandwidth to build and maintain CraftMyPDF templates, if you want AI to draft content and structure rather than just fill blanks you defined, or if you need non-developers to create document workflows without any setup phase, EZdoc covers that ground. For 240+ pre-built templates, for AI-generated one-offs, and for CSV batch workflows that don't require a pre-designed template, EZdoc starts where CraftMyPDF's template-design requirement ends.
