* prerender.io is a paid service; Rendora is FOSS and self hosted * prerender.io needs additional code in your backend to filter requests and asks for SSR from a remote server then returns back the resulting HTML; Rendora doesn't because it does all that automatically by being a lightweight reverse HTTP proxy server in front of your backend * with Rendora you can control caching (using an internal local store or Redis), prerender.io claims caching on their servers I guess but then you can't control it espcially if you have fast chaing pages * Rendora provides Prometheus metrics to measure your SSR latencies, count of cached and uncached requests and an API rendering endpoint * Rendora supports asynchronous pages where content is loaded after the initial DOM load * you can simply choose which Chrome version you want to use with Rendora * Rendora instructs headless Chrome to skip fetching unncessary assets (e.g. fonts, CSS, images, etc...) which makes the DOM load much faster then when loaded and rendered by default
