Our take
Pick Datalab Marker if you're on a doc-pipeline team who will burn the Free allowance, then pay Team or PAYG. Pick Unstructured if you're on a rAG team who will burn the 10,000 free pages and then pay $0.015/page, not a team looking for a $20 chat seat. Skip Datalab Marker if you're people who want a Gmail invoice mailbox (Parseur).
