What it is good for
- Parsing PDFs, scans and office documents before indexing
- Building a RAG pipeline where document quality is the bottleneck
- Handling many document formats with one tool
- Teams that have discovered their PDFs are the problem
Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths
- 10,000 free pages is enough to process a real corpus
- Per-page pricing is simple to forecast
- Handles the format variety that breaks homemade parsers
Trade-offs
- Per-page cost adds up on large archives
- Output quality still varies with input quality
- Another service in an already long RAG pipeline
Editors' review
The unglamorous step that decides RAG quality
Teams spend weeks tuning retrieval and prompts when the actual problem is that the parser turned a three-column PDF into interleaved nonsense. Fixing the parse improves answers more than any prompt change.
Run the free 10,000 pages against your worst documents, not your best. The best ones parse fine with anything.
Verdict
Test it on your ugliest PDFs. If they come out clean, the per-page cost is cheap.
