The honest brief

LlamaParse

Parsing tuned for RAG by the team behind the LlamaIndex framework — layout-aware, multimodal extraction of tables and charts, not just flat OCR.

  • Strong on tables, charts, scanned PDFs
  • 90+ formats, 100+ languages
  • Free tier with 10k credits/month
  • Tight fit with the LlamaIndex framework
  • Cloud-only, credit-based costs add up
  • Best modes cost more credits per page
  • Core parser is proprietary, not open source

Reducto

Tuned for governed, regulated-industry extraction — claims higher accuracy on complex layouts than LlamaParse.

  • Strong on complex/nested table layouts
  • Complexity-based billing avoids overpaying
  • Built for regulated, compliance-heavy use
  • Single API: parse, split, extract, edit
  • API-only, no app UI
  • Pricier than open-source parsers
  • Usage-credit pricing adds estimation
