What differs for JSON API

For labels delivered as PDF, templates are built in a visual builder (4) and HTML (1). All 4 read JSON sent to an API without a Zapier, Make or n8n step in between. Of these, 3 have a free tier.

Your own code decides when to call the API, so a document can be built on any event. Published starting prices run from $7 to $29 a month, the top end from CraftMyPDF. Prices were checked on 20 Oct 2026.
