Strengths & caveats
Google CloudMature, broad processor suite (OCR $1.50/1000 -> $0.60 above 5M pages, Layout Parser $10, Form/Custom $30) with strong layout, tables and handwriting; high-volume tiering is the cheapest at scale. No published OmniDocBench score for the dedicated processors (null); real cost rises sharply for table/form parsing ($10-30/1000) plus GCP project overhead; sync OCR caps ~15 pages, async to ~200 per call.Amazon Web ServicesBattle-tested at enterprise scale; basic OCR $1.50/1000 dropping to $0.60 above 1M pages, async handles up to 3000-page/500MB PDFs and TIFFs, strong forms/tables/queries and printed+handwritten English, with Layout free when used alongside Tables. No public OmniDocBench score (null); language coverage limited to six Latin-script languages (English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish) with handwriting and Queries English-only and no vertical-text support; tables +$15 and forms +$50 per 1000 (falling to $10 and $40 above 1M) make real-world cost far above the headline, and sync calls cap at 1 page / 10MB.
