Unstructured
zero data retention on every plan including the free one, and a bill that stops at $3,000 however much you send.
the strongest default data posture of any hosted option here, on pricing with a genuinely unusual ceiling — expensive per page until you're sending a lot, then free.
zero data retention is stated on every tier, including the free one. that is rarer than it should be: aws trains on your documents unless you opt out, and several vendors here address retention nowhere at all. the business plan adds soc 2 type 2, hipaa, gdpr and iso 27001 with dedicated infrastructure.
the pricing has a shape nothing else here does. $0.03 a page is mid-to-high, but the pay-as-you-go bill caps at $3,000 a month and anything beyond that up to a million pages is processed at no charge. at high volume the effective rate collapses toward zero, which inverts the usual penalty for scale.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.
