Our take
Pick Google Document AI if you're gCP shops who will burn the 1,000 free OCR pages, then stay on the public table. Pick LlamaParse if you're on a rAG and agent team who will burn Free credits, then pay Starter. Skip Google Document AI if you're on a team that want a mailbox + Zapier desk (Parseur) without a Google Cloud project. Skip LlamaParse if you're people who only want the MIT index library with no Cloud parse
