// Before (DocRaptor) const response = await fetch( 'https://docraptor.com/docs', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ user_credentials: CREDENTIALS, doc: { document_content: html, name: 'output.pdf' } }) } ); // After (DocuQueue) const response = await fetch( 'https://docuqueue.com/api/v1/convert-html', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'api-key': API_KEY }, body: JSON.stringify({ html: html }) } );
// Convert a live URL to PDF
const response = await fetch(
'https://docuqueue.com/api/v1/convert-url',
{
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'api-key': API_KEY },
body: JSON.stringify({ url: 'https://example.com/invoice' })
}
);
Same PDF quality, more features, lower cost. Your invoices, certificates, and reports are ready to go.
DocuQueue does more for less. But DocRaptor has real strengths worth acknowledging, especially if your use case demands specific compliance or output features.
DocRaptor uses Prince XML, the gold standard for CSS-to-PDF rendering. If your documents require pixel-perfect print layout, Prince XML handles complex typography, page breaks, and CSS print features better than Chromium-based engines.
If you need accessible PDFs that meet WCAG or Section 508 standards for government or enterprise compliance, DocRaptor has dedicated accessibility features built into their engine.
DocRaptor offers HIPAA-compliant PDF generation for healthcare organizations. If you handle protected health information and need a signed BAA, DocRaptor has that covered today.
DocRaptor can generate Excel files, not just PDFs. If you need spreadsheet output from HTML templates, DocRaptor supports that natively. DocuQueue focuses on PDF and image output.
Bottom line: if you need Prince XML fidelity, enterprise compliance certifications, or Excel output, DocRaptor is the right tool. If you need more features at a lower price, DocuQueue is the better fit.
DocRaptor starts at $49/month for 250 documents with no free tier. DocuQueue offers 25 credits per month free and a $9/month starter plan with 250 credits. At scale, DocuQueue remains more affordable with overage at $0.04 per credit versus DocRaptor's $0.20 per extra document.
