The honest brief

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

Unstract

Prompt Studio offers a no-code IDE to build and test per-field extraction prompts, then deploy them as APIs or ETL pipelines — and the whole stack self-hosts.

  • Open-source (AGPL-3.0), self-hostable
  • Prompt Studio: no-code extraction IDE
  • Deploy extractions as APIs or ETL
  • Cloud adds SOC 2 / HIPAA / HITL review
  • AGPL-3.0 may deter some commercial use
  • Self-host setup is involved
  • LLM costs scale with document volume
