> **Varun** | *10 June 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how you get 50 credits on the free trial. It really allowed me to test the API functions as part of my n8n agent. This will become my go to PDF solution for reports
> 
> **Cons**: No cons yet. I was going to write that there a sandbox option would be useful and then checked the documentation and boom there is a sandbox. &#10;&#10;So con, when I signed up for an account, it should have said to use sandbox while testing\!\! to make it idiot proof :)
