# Bannerify vs Templated

> Compare Bannerify and Templated on pricing, API, rendering engine, and template editor.

Canonical: https://bannerify.co/compare/templated

Templated is a template API for images, PDFs, and MP4 videos, with a white-label editor on its higher plans. Bannerify does the image and PDF job on a chromeless Rust engine, with 3,000 renders for $29.

## Why teams switch

- 3× the images for the same price: Templated Starter is $29 a month billed yearly, or $39 monthly, for 1,000 credits. Bannerify Automate gives 3,000 images for $29 a month.
- No headless browser: Templated describes its renderer as Chromium-based. Bannerify renders on a chromeless engine written in Rust.
- Images from a URL: Templated does not offer URL-based rendering. Bannerify renders an image from a URL in an img tag, an email, or an og:image, on every plan.

## When Templated is the better pick

- You need MP4 video from the same templates.
- You want to embed a white-label editor in your app.
- You import designs from Photoshop, Illustrator, PDF, or PowerPoint files.

## Switch from Templated in three steps

1. 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. 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. 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.

Competitor figures checked in October 2026 on https://templated.io/pricing/. To get 10,000 or more Templated credits, you need Enterprise, at $229 a month for 25,000. One credit is one image or one PDF page.
