Strengths & caveats
Microsoft AzureBroadest language coverage for print/handwriting, Read OCR $1.50/1000 (->$0.60 above 1M), strong Layout API for tables/structure, mature prebuilt models (invoice, receipt, ID) and JSON output. No public OmniDocBench score (null); Layout/prebuilt $10/1000 and Custom Extraction $30/1000 plus $6/1000 add-ons (formula, high-res) push real cost up well beyond Read pricing.ReductoAgentic document platform aimed at hard real-world docs (complex tables, bounding boxes, schema extraction), 30+ formats, webhooks/async; well-regarded for accuracy on messy enterprise PDFs, with a 20% credit discount on non-urgent batch parsing under a 12-hour completion guarantee. Pricing not comparable: credit-based ($0.015/credit after 15K free on Standard, Growth/Enterprise custom) with no clean public per-page rate, since credits consumed depend on operation type, configuration and page count; no published OmniDocBench score (its '67.8%' figure came from a non-Tier-1 secondary source and is unverified).
