Which one fits

Choose Orshot when

You need PDF or video output, or a visual editor that non-developers can use.

You rely on no-code tools such as Zapier, Make or n8n, or want an editor embedded in your own product.
You need it in production today, or you want to connect from ChatGPT now.

Choose VectorFast Render when

You want templates as code you can read, diff and keep next to your app.
You start from a raster logo and want it turned into an SVG inside the brand kit your renders use.
You want deterministic output where repeat requests are served from cache instead of rendering again.
You render mostly launch posts, share cards and OG images and want a lower entry price (pre-launch: Starter $19 for 1,500 renders).
