Azure AI Document Intelligence
the best privacy default among the big clouds, behind a pricing table that shows dashes.
genuinely good defaults on the question that matters — 24-hour deletion and no training — sold from a page that won't show you a number.
for prebuilt models, microsoft states that input data and results are deleted within 24 hours and are not used to train its models, and custom models train only on data in your own blob storage inside your subscription. against aws's opt-out training default, that is the stronger position by a distance, and for invoices and identity documents it is the deciding one.
the prebuilt catalogue is broad — invoice, receipt, id, tax forms, health insurance card, contract — each priced as its own tier, with layout including table and structure extraction as a single tier rather than the separate surcharge aws applies.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
