The choice is yours. There are multiple respectable efforts out there that can do many good things.
In unidoc, we work hard to provide production quality builds taking every detail into consideration and providing excellent support to our customers. See our [testimonials](https://unidoc.io) for example.

The profits are invested back into making unidoc better. We want to make the best possible product and in order to do that we need the best people to contribute. A large fraction of the profits made goes back into developing unidoc. That way we have been able to get many excellent people to work and contribute to unidoc that would not be able to contribute their work for free.
