TypeFlow vs DocsAutomator: Best Alternative Compared

Choosing the right document automation tool for Airtable can save you hours of manual work. In this comparison, we break down TypeFlow and DocsAutomator - two platforms that use Google Docs for template building. We'll cover their features, integrations, and pricing so you can decide which one fits your workflow best.

TypeFlow vs. DocsAutomator: Features

Both TypeFlow and DocsAutomator use Google Docs for template building, making them accessible to non-technical users. The core difference is scope: DocsAutomator integrates with multiple platforms (Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, ClickUp), while TypeFlow focuses exclusively on Airtable with features like nested line items, multiple grouping. TypeFlow also offers a template builder if you don't want to use Google Docs for templating.

Then, it's easy to map the data between the Google Docs variables and the Airtable fields.

DocsAutomator offers robust PDF generation features:

• Line items and dynamic images: Insert repeating data and images from your records

• Conditional styling: Fine-tune PDF output based on field values

• Google Doc export: Save documents for manual editing afterward

They also allow sending emails through their platform. So, there's no need to depend on Airtable Automation.

TypeFlow works similarly - you build templates in Google Docs. Here's what you can do:

• Map the data between Airtable fields and Google Docs variables.

• Generate a PDF with an automation script, so you can generate a PDF while you sleep.

• Put in place conditional values so the PDF hides or displays section based on criteria.

• Save the file as Google Docs so you can fine-tune it afterward.

With the template builder the possiblity are almost infinite.

As you can see, we have roughly the same features. The main difference will be in the integration offered.

TypeFlow vs. DocsAutomator: Integration

DocsAutomator offers many integrations. They integrate with:

• Airtable
• Noloco
• Zapier
• Make
• ClickUp
• Google Sheets
• Glide

It's perfect if you use many of those software. In our case, we only offer Airtable integration. Our first goal is to become the best generator in Airtable at an affordable price. So if you only use Airtable and want to generate PDFs, please check us out!

TypeFlow vs. DocsAutomator: Pricing

TypeFlow offers a pay-as-you-go plan starting at $0.40 per document. For higher volumes, you can get 500 docs for $29, 1,300 docs for $60, or 3,000 docs for $100. They also offer a 14-day free trial with unlimited documents—perfect if you want to test the platform with Airtable before committing.

DocsAutomator starts at $12 for 50 documents per month, then $24 for 200 docs, $39 for 500 docs, and $99 for 2,000 docs. This pricing structure works well if you use multiple platforms beyond Airtable.

But you can use DocsAutomator. It starts at $15 for 200 documents per month and then $27 per month for 500 PDFs. This plan works well if you use software other than Airtable.
