squiggli vs PandaDoc
API documents never pause. No credit packs to top up.
PandaDoc's API runs on prepaid Usage Credits on top of US$19 to US$49 per seat a month, and API document creation pauses when the credits run out. squiggli charges $1.00 per document sent, on your monthly statement, so your app keeps sending.
Why teams choose squiggli
- Pay per document sent, in arrears. No packs to buy and nothing expires at the end of a billing period.
- Templates are plain JSON blocks with {{variables}}, so an agent can write and edit them for you.
- A visual template editor you can embed in your own app with one script tag.
- Built for sending from code: idempotent writes, webhooks signed with HMAC, and errors that say how to fix them.
- No seats: everyone on your team signs in through Kiewa at no extra cost.
