Per-document vs. per-page — Parseur charges 1 credit per page processed. Sensible charges per document, regardless of page count.

Schema validation built in — every extracted field is checked against your output schema before delivery; Parseur returns parsed text without downstream validation

1,000+ page documents — no page limits; Parseur's architecture is designed for shorter transactional documents due to its per-page pricing

Sensible vs. Parseur: Key Differences

Parseur is a solid choice for non-technical teams automating high-volume, simple document workflows like email parsing and invoice extraction. Sensible is built for engineering and product teams who need extraction as infrastructure: API-first, schema-validated output, and production reliability across complex document types. If you have hit Parseur's limits on document complexity, page counts, or API integration depth, Sensible is the natural upgrade path.
