The short version
Parseur's Premium plan is $269 a month for 3,000 pages, and Pro is $499 for 10,000. PdfParse Pro is $79.99 for 3,000 pages, and Enterprise is $129.99 for 10,000. That's roughly $0.027 and $0.013 a page against Parseur's $0.090 and $0.050.
We found no confidence scores or review queue in Parseur's documentation; its validation formats fields against the mailbox schema. PdfParse scores every routing decision and holds anything below your threshold, or any failed extraction, for a person to check beside the PDF.
Parseur routes by mailbox: each address gets its own templates and schema. PdfParse inboxes can classify what arrives, split packets into documents, and send each one to the table that fits it, all from one address.
Parseur exports Excel, CSV, and JSON and syncs to Google Sheets. PdfParse keeps every document as rows with linked line items, which you can query with SQL in the dashboard or download as a single SQLite file.
