What differs for JSON API

For contracts delivered as PDF, templates are built in Word (21), a fillable PDF form (10) and a visual builder (8). Among them, 5 need Zapier, Make or n8n to read JSON sent to an API, so they sit after the tools with a direct connection. Of these, 18 have a free tier.

Besides PDF, these tools for contracts also write DOCX (21), e-sign documents (16) and XLSX (5). Your own code decides when to call the API, so a document can be built on any event. Published starting prices run from $10 to $250 a month, the top end from Formstack Documents. Prices were checked on 20 Oct 2026.
