What Makes Parsli Different
Transparent, self-service pricing
Your first 10 pages are free, then it's $0.20/page pay-as-you-go or plans from $25/month. No hidden fees, no setup costs, no 'talk to sales' for pricing. According to Gartner, hidden costs in enterprise document processing contracts average 25–40% above listed prices — Parsli's pricing is fully transparent.
A benchmarked parsing engine, not just a model
Anyone can call a frontier model. Parsli's moat is the engine around it: continuous benchmarking of frontier vision-language models on real production use cases, field-level confidence scores, and active hallucination prevention — so you get best-in-class accuracy across every document type, industry, and edge case. Upload a document and get structured data in seconds, no training or templates required.
Your documents stay yours
Documents are never used to train or improve AI models — this is policy, not a setting you have to flip. Encryption at rest and in transit. Row-level security so your data is isolated from every other account. According to the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), 79% of organizations now require vendors to certify that customer data is not used for model training.
Benchmarked accuracy with confidence scoring
Beyond plain-English fields, Parsli's engine is continuously benchmarked across document types and edge cases, with field-level confidence scores and hallucination prevention — best-in-class accuracy, plus a free start and pay-as-you-go pricing.

Does Parsli use my data to train its AI?
No. Never. Your documents are processed to extract the data you requested and are never used to train or improve AI models.

What kind of support does Parsli offer?
All customers get access to documentation, guides, and email support. Priority support is available on higher-tier plans.
What compliance certifications does Parsli have?
Parsli does not yet hold formal compliance certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001. What we do have today: encryption at rest and in transit, row-level security so tenant data is fully isolated, and a documented no-training policy on customer data. If your procurement requires a specific certification before you can deploy Parsli in production, contact us — we'll share our current security practices, our roadmap, and what's already in motion.

According to Grand View Research, the global OCR market reached $13.38 billion in 2023, driven by AI models that achieve 95–99% character accuracy — far beyond legacy OCR engines.
