# Shareglint as analternative to Placid

A template editor plus an API, with strong marketing-tool integrations.

## Before you read on

Placid's layer editor is more polished than ours, and it comes with a lot of ready integrations and credits that roll over to the next month — for a team without a developer that is still a real advantage. Our editor does the essentials (layers, fields, images, shapes, auto-fitting) and hands over to plain HTML and CSS when you need more.

## The differences, plainly

| What | Placid | Shareglint |
|---|---|---|
| Price per 1,000 images | About $15.60 ($39 for 2,500) | $4.50 ($9 for 2,000) |
| Free tier | Trial credits | 100 images every month |
| Visual editor | Yes, more polished | Yes — layers, drag and drop, fields |
| Layer-based templates | Yes | Yes in the visual editor, or a full HTML document |
| Preview without using quota | Limited | Yes, a dedicated endpoint |
| Unused credits | Roll over | Do not roll over |

Placid pricing ($39 / mo, 2,500 credits) comes from their own public page, checked 2026-10. If something has changed — tell us and we will fix it.

## Which one to pick

- **Take Placid:** You want a mature mouse-first editor and to wire templates into marketing tools without writing code.
- **Take Shareglint:** You would rather keep the template in your repository, versioned with the code — or build a simple one in our visual editor — and pay for renders, not for an editor.
