Apryse vs IronPDF

Apryse delivers, but not for everyone.

Apryse's viewing and annotation features are basic but when it comes to fast, flexible PDF generation, C# developers choose IronPDF.

Create, edit, and convert PDFs with ease - no bloat, no extra installs, just clean code and results.

IronPDF vs PDF Tron - Which PDF library suits you better?

Here's how IronPDF and Apryse handle basic HTML-to-PDF conversion:

Can You Spot the Difference?

IronPDF uses a built-in Chromium engine, allowing you to go from URL to PDF in just a few lines of code.

Tools can promise a lot but performance tells the real story.

We ran the same HTML through both Apryse HTML2PDF and IronPDF.

After 30 minutes of setup and dealing with external modules, Apryse gave us a bulky 805 KB PDF.
IronPDF? 2-minute setup, no extra installs and a clean 264 KB file.

IronPDF was also faster thanks to its native support for parallel rendering. With PDFs rendering, simpler is better.

How IronPDF Works For You

We can’t satisfy everyone, but being reliable, helpful, and affordable has been our mission since day 1.

Apryse : Performance & Complexity

"We ran into some performance issues in their latest versions though."
PDFTron’s heavy-weight viewer may lag behind, especially with large documents adding complexity for simple PDF conversion tasks.

IronPDF Advantage
- Convert HTML, Razor, or even Markdown to PDF with a single line of code.
- Lightning-fast rendering with a modern, browser-based engine.

Apryse : Licensing Costs

"The main issue I have with Arpyse's licensing is that it's not really 'pay as you go'. For server-side PDF generation, their lowest tier... is 15,000 documents."

IronPDF offers clear, reasonable plans with perpetual and pay-as-you-go licenses, allowing people to choose lifetime use or recurring subscription, making it a cost-effective choice for developers.

Apryse : Documentation

"It is difficult to configure and integrate the SDK with our software product. The documentation is also out of current, thus embedding takes time."

IronPDF’s documentation is clean, well-structured, and genuinely helps you get things done. What really sets it apart is how clear the deployment guidance is, not just for local dev, but for real-world production environments.
