Strengths & caveats
Mistral AIDedicated single-model OCR API (OCR 4, released 23 June 2026) with markdown plus HTML-table output, paragraph-level bounding boxes, block classification and inline confidence scores, 170 languages across 10 language groups, and a 50% batch discount ($2/1000). OCR 4.1 (public preview since 16 July 2026) adds structural block labels and block-level confidence; annotated Document AI extraction is $5/1000 pages. The OCR 4 release doubled the price from $2 to $4 per 1000 pages, making it the most expensive comparable per-page option here — the hyperscalers' basic OCR tier is $1.50/1000. The 85.66 OmniDocBench composite is the independent v1.6 leaderboard's untagged 'Mistral OCR' entry (April 2026), so it predates OCR 4; Mistral self-reports 93.07 on OmniDocBench, 85.20 on OlmOCRBench and a 72% average human-preference win rate for OCR 4, all Tier 3. The 1000-page async cap is carried over from the June 2026 check and could not be re-verified.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).
