AWS Textract
the cheapest plain ocr here, the most expensive forms extraction, and it trains on your documents unless you stop it.
the most granular published pricing in the category, and the only vendor here whose default is to use your contracts and invoices to improve its own models.
the per-feature pricing is genuinely the clearest here: every capability has its own published rate rather than hiding behind a tier. plain text extraction at $1.50 per thousand pages is the cheapest hosted ocr in this ranking by a wide margin.
then the same pages cost $15 with table detection and $50 with forms — ten and thirty-three times the base rate, as separate api calls rather than add-ons. a document set you priced as plain ocr becomes a different budget entirely once you need the structure, and that multiplier is the single most consequential number on this page.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.
