Interesting project.
I wonder why this horrible pdf format is still a thing or better why there is no affordable good solution. It's either free and weird to configure with all kind of glitches and limitations or costs a lot of money.
Typset.sh was unknown to me and I think I'll take a closer look in case I need an alternative to my wkhtml2pdf setup (which would be a nice addition to your comparison chart).

Great job! Also, site looks much nicer now!
You didn't have to pay yourself for all the licences, did you? :)

mPDF, wkhtmltopdf, and Weasyprint are free, for Prince and PDFreactor I use a free personal, non-commercial license (that's why there is a logo on the right top corner of each page).

For typeset.sh I got a license to play around with by the developer :)

I want to add AntennaHouse Formatter too but they do not offer a free personal license :(
