Why developers are switching
Better Security by Default
Most PDF services allow access to internal network metadata (AWS/Fly.io endpoints) by default. RocketUtils was built with a "Zero Trust" rendering architecture. Every request is sandboxed behind a hardened egress proxy that blocks private IP ranges before they even hit the browser.
Rock-Solid Reliability
Puppeteer is famous for zombie processes. While other services might scale up to hide the bloat, we solve it at the process level. Our custom reaping engine ensures no browser survives beyond its task, keeping the infra lean and fast.
Stop paying for complex credits
No more math. One simple monthly price for the reqs you actually use.
Our free tier is perfect for indie hackers and small startups.
