About ActiveMerge
ActiveMerge is a document automation platform that turns templates and business data into personalized documents for small and growing teams.
Create contracts, invoices, certificates, reports and presentations in bulk, then deliver or route them for signature from one workspace.
What ActiveMerge does
Generate documents from data
Upload a Word, Excel or PowerPoint template and connect spreadsheet, form, Airtable, Notion or API data. ActiveMerge fills the fields and produces personalized PDF, DOCX, XLSX or PPTX files, reducing manual copying and keeping documents consistent.
Build document workflows
Use reusable templates and workflows to create several document types from one data set. Teams can preview a sample before generating a batch, then download results individually or as a ZIP.
Collect data and connect apps
Use web forms, the REST API and integrations such as Airtable, Google Sheets, Make and Zapier to feed document jobs. This lets teams trigger generation from the tools where their records already live.
Send, store and sign files
Save generated documents in ActiveMerge Files, email them and request e-signatures. That keeps creation and delivery in a connected process instead of a series of manual handoffs.
What makes ActiveMerge different
Editable Office output alongside PDF
ActiveMerge supports four core business file outputs: PDF, DOCX, XLSX and PPTX. Documint says its generated documents are PDF-only, so teams that need an editable Word document or PowerPoint deck can keep that option with ActiveMerge.
Use existing Word and PowerPoint templates
Teams can upload existing DOCX or PPTX templates and map fields to their data, avoiding a redesign in a proprietary editor. PDFMonkey says it does not import existing Word files and instead offers a visual builder or HTML/CSS templates.
A published $19 monthly entry plan
ActiveMerge Pro is listed at $19 per month for 200 documents. Documint lists its Silver plan at $39 per month when billed annually for 2,400 documents per year; compare included features as well as price, since Documint includes e-sign envelopes.
Credits without a subscription
ActiveMerge lists purchased credits at $0.10 each, with two credits per generated document and a $10 minimum top-up. PDFMonkey makes pay-as-you-go available on paid plans, while ActiveMerge also offers a standalone credit purchase option.
A free document allowance instead of only a timed trial
ActiveMerge lists 25 documents on its free plan with no credit card required. Plumsail Documents offers a 30-day free trial; ActiveMerge’s published free allowance is measured in documents rather than trial days.

How ActiveMerge works
Start with a template and data
Create an account, upload a reusable template and provide data from a spreadsheet, form, integration or API. Match data fields to template placeholders, preview the first result, then run the full document batch.
Work with the product and support team
Most onboarding is self-service through the web app and help guides. For workflow questions, customers can email support@activemerge.com or book a demo; the pricing page lists 24/7 support on paid plans but does not publish a response-time guarantee.
Delivery and turnaround
Generated files can be downloaded, stored, emailed or routed into connected tools, with e-signature requests available for documents that need approval. Turnaround depends on template complexity and batch size; ActiveMerge does not publish a universal completion-time SLA.
