Why teams switch

Where Bannerify is different.

Same job: design a template once, fill it with data many times. Different engine underneath.

  • More images for less

    Placid Pro is $39 a month for 2,500 credits. Bannerify Automate is $29 a month for 3,000 images.

  • No queue to poll

    The Placid REST API queues renders by default, and you poll or wait for a webhook. Bannerify returns the file in the same request.

  • A free plan that stays free

    Placid has a trial with a few credits. Bannerify Free gives 100 images every month.

Plan by plan, feature by feature.

Placid prices and plan limits checked in October 2026 on the Placid pricing page. The cheapest Placid plan with 10,000 or more credits is Business, at $89 a month for 25,000. One credit is one image, and a PDF page costs 2. Plans change, so confirm current pricing before you buy.

When Placid is the better pick.

Bannerify does one job: templates in, images and PDFs out. If your job looks like one of these, Placid may fit you better.

  • You need video, or print-ready PDFs at 300 DPI in CMYK, from the same templates.
  • You want to embed a white-label editor in your SaaS, or render on the phone with the iOS and Android SDK.
  • Your volume goes up and down: unused Placid credits roll over, up to twice the monthly amount.

Switch from Placid in three steps.

  1. 01

    Rebuild one template

    Start from a blank canvas or a gallery template, or import a Figma frame with the Bannerify plugin. Text, images, QR codes, tables, and charts are layers that your data can fill.

  2. 02

    Name the layers that change

    Give each layer that takes data a name, such as headline or photo. A request changes each named layer and keeps the rest of the design.

  3. 03

    Send your data

    Call the REST API or an SDK from your code, or connect a spreadsheet or form through Zapier, n8n, or Pipedream. The free plan gives 100 renders a month to test with.
