Facts

Website: glyfa.dev
Price: Free tier · from $19/mo
Free trial: Not stated
API delivery: The API queues document jobs and returns a signed download URL after completion, or can send a webhook when a render finishes.
Data safeguards: The privacy policy says API keys are stored as SHA-256 hashes, backups are encrypted, and traffic is served over HTTPS.
Documents: The site lists invoices, receipts, contracts, and reports as document types it can render.
Integrations: Customers can supply tax amounts and rates from Stripe Tax, TaxJar, Avalara, or their own logic; Glyfa says it does not calculate tax.
Intended users: The maker positions Free for testing and side projects, Developer for small apps and growing side projects, and Business for production billing and document workflows.
Privacy: The privacy policy says Glyfa does not retain submitted HTML or JSON beyond the brief time needed to render a document and does not use content to train AI models.
Rendering: Glyfa renders modern HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with Chromium, and says most documents finish in 1–2 seconds.
Security: The maker says renders run in isolated, non-root browsers with sanitized HTML and no access to internal networks.
Self-hosting: Glyfa describes its open core as AGPL-licensed and self-hostable on the customer’s infrastructure.
Support: The Free plan includes community support, Developer includes email support, and Business includes priority email support.
Tax limits: How VAT/GST is labeled and whether tax is inclusive or exclusive is controlled by the customer’s template; stored compliant templates and multi-jurisdiction presets are listed as roadmap items.
Templates: Templates use standard HTML/CSS and Handlebars syntax with helpers for currency, dates, and tax breakdowns.
