Our take
Pick AWS Textract if you're aWS shops who will burn the 3-month free tier, then pay the public per-page table. Pick Google Document AI if you're gCP shops who will burn the 1,000 free OCR pages, then stay on the public table. Skip AWS Textract if you're on a team that want a browser SenseML editor (Sensible) without an AWS account. Skip Google Document AI if you're on a team that want a mailbox + Zapier desk
