Amazon Textract

AWS's extraction service. Solid accuracy, infinite scale, but API-only and billing surprises.

Our Verdict

Textract scales infinitely on AWS infrastructure and the per-page pricing looks attractive. But it's a raw API — no UI, no workflow tools, and AWS documentation can be dense. Billing is hard to predict once you factor in all the API calls, S3 storage, and Lambda invocations.
