It's possible to generate PDFs with both software. But they have a different approach.

Plumsail's approach:

Lets you import documents (docx, Google Docs, PDF, HTML, etc.) or create PDFs using its templates
If you start from scratch, you can create a template in Google Docs without leaving the platform
You can even change the document imported through the Google Docs interface
Lets you save or send your new files to Google Drive and Dropbox

While the features are solid, setting everything up together is overwhelming. Indeed, when you've finished setting up the document, it's a bit complex to know what the next step is.

Typeflow's approach:

We use Google Docs to generate templates
We send an email with the newly exported PDF whenever we generate a new PDF
We ensure that our process is frictionless and doesn't require technical skills
We are here to set things up in less than five minutes

Typeflow vs Plumsail: Integration

The next step, of course, is to get the data from a source to generate a PDF.

Plumsail's integration challenges:

Has some integration software, but initially, it seems they don't have any
Encourages users to create forms to generate PDFs without highlighting other options
Enables users to create forms that generate new PDFs directly
Integrates with Make, Zapier, and Power App (requiring separate subscriptions)
API options available but require technical skills
Native integration with Airtable only available for paid Airtable plans
Users aren't always aware of available integrations

Typeflow's integration benefits:

We ensure your cost is under control
You don't need technical skills
You can generate PDFs with a free or paid Airtable account
We are focused on delivering the best experience possible with our Airtable integration
We prioritize quality over quantity in our integrations
