Typeflow vs. Documint: features

Both tools generate PDFs but take very different approaches.

Documint offers a powerful drag-and-drop feature for customizing your PDF templates, giving you flexibility.

However, while the design process is user-friendly, setting up complex logic can be daunting for those unfamiliar with these tools.

If you're an experienced user of these types of tools, this might not be an issue, but it can be overwhelming for beginners.

Although Documint provides templates, customizing them to your needs can take time and technical knowledge.

Also, the mapping between Airtable and Documint is complex.

It requires a lot back and forth between Airtable and Documint. This can be a barrier as it requires time particularly if you have many variables to map.

One complex situation that can be challenging is when you want to access to fields from other tables. In this situation you need to use rollup or lookup fields to access the data. If you need to rely on a lot of fields from other tables, your table can become a real mess.

On the other hand, Typeflow takes a more straightforward approach. For accessing fields from other tables, you can simply pick in the Typeflow configuration which fields you want to use from another table.

We also have a straightforward approach by using Google Docs templates for PDF generation. Why Google Docs?

Most users are already familiar with it. All you need to do is insert the necessary variables, and your template is ready.

We also offer pre-made templates for those who want to skip the setup process entirely.

In short, Typeflow is easier to learn and use. You'll work with software (Google Docs) you already know without the need to learn anything new.

With Documint, you may need to familiarize yourself with new tools and workflows. Typeflow focuses on streamlining PDF generation, while Documint might require a steeper learning curve.

Typeflow vs. Documint: integrations

I didn't mention it in the section above, but some of you might need to leverage an integration tool to generate PDFs for the first time.

So, if you need to take over an integration tool, plus learn how to create a template with Documint, it takes time!

Many users rely on integrations, and it's important to consider how each tool connects with other platforms.

Typeflow focuses on seamless integration with Airtable, which is perfect for users who primarily work with Airtable data.

Documint offers a broader range of integrations, including Airtable, but you need to upgrade to access its Airtable automation. Some of their supported platforms include:

• Airtable
• Bubble
• 123 Builder
• Coda
• Google Sheets
• Jotform
• Make
• Zapier
• Salesforce
• And many more

If you're looking for a wide variety of integrations, Documint's extensive list might suit your needs. But if Airtable is your primary focus, Typeflow offers a streamlined, easier-to-use alternative.
