Our take
Pick Parseur if you're on a ops team who will stay on Free 20 pages or pay Micro for 100 invoices. Pick PDF.ai if you're readers who will stay on Hobby $0 (1 PDF, 100 questions), then buy Pro at $10/month billed yearly when they need 100 uploads and 1,000 questions. Skip Parseur if you're an engineer who want a $/1k OCR API (Unstract) with no mailbox.
