What’s the main difference?
| Docmosis | Fluent (formerly Windward Studios) |
|---|---|
 |
 |
|
Docmosis is an easy-to-use and affordable tool for any business that needs high-quality document generation. It integrates seamlessly with custom-built software applications and third-party apps while allowing for template creation using simple software like Microsoft Word and LibreOffice. This makes it accessible to anyone who knows how to use these tools, which allows for rapid template prototyping. |
Fluent is a good choice for large enterprises that want to automate document generation. It allows document generation by collecting data from different types of databases simultaneously and outputs in numerous formats. However, it’s complex to set up and use — something that wouldn’t bother enterprises that have dedicated teams for that. |

Versatile and User-Friendly Setup
A hassle-free setup process with both cloud-based or self-hosted options
Fluent: Only offers a self-hosted option that’s complex to set up — users must install multiple components: the Fluent Engine, Fluent Manager, and Fluent Designer (requires separate licenses for each user).
Docmosis is adaptable to your existing workflows. It offers three solutions, each equally capable:
- Cloud (SaaS solution) — saves you the hassle of complex installations.
- Tornado (self-hosted) — use on your servers with a straightforward installation and configuration process.
- Java (self-hosted) — integrate Docmosis with custom Java applications.
Straightforward and Efficient Template Creation
Design templates in familiar tools using simple plain-text placeholders
Fluent: Complex and technical approach to template creation. Supports Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint but requires you to learn specific features like Autotag and Wizard functions and requires an understanding of database connections and data structures.
Docmosis simplifies your template creation process, allowing you to design templates directly in Microsoft Word or LibreOffice using easy plain-text placeholders. No plugins.
Docmosis also streamlines document customization with 43 ready-to-use templates (including invoices and business letters) and the ability to instantly test with sample data.
Accurate Formatting in Document Exports
Ensure document exports match the original template, no matter the complexity
Fluent: Inconsistent with template-to-document conversion, especially with complex documents. Issues like misplaced logos, altered font types, and modified column widths mean different exported documents than templates.
Docmosis prioritizes quality in document exports, focusing on text-based formats like PDF, DOCX, ODT, and TXT to guarantee the final documents mirror the initial templates you create.
This commitment to quality and consistency makes Docmosis ideal for businesses requiring professional, brand-aligned documents, offering peace of mind that your design efforts are accurately reflected in the end product.
Well-Structured and Easily Navigable Resources
Support your team with frequently updated and easy-to-access guides and take the load off the IT
Fluent: While customer support is often praised, the resources seem outdated and scattered. Users might have to rely on customer support for troubleshooting.
Docmosis offers neatly organized, detailed, and regularly updated resources — tailored to each of its products.
This structured approach simplifies learning and problem-solving for all users, enabling them to independently solve problems and take the load off IT.
On the other hand, our support team is trained to provide detailed responses with specific examples and is always happy to assist in case you need personalized help.
