In my experience, Prince is great for static HTML + CSS rendering, but its JavaScript engine is pretty lackluster -- I couldn't get it to work with rendering React components, for example. So it depends a lot on your use case and if you can server-side render everything. It's also pretty pricey[1] -- not that I mind paying for quality software but that sticker could be prohibitive for a lot of folks. [1] https://www.princexml.com/purchase

I'm a developer at https://docraptor.com. We're an official Prince partner with a SaaS pricing model, but we've got a separate JavaScript engine for that very reason.
