IT Technical Project Manager Computer Hardware Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Docparser keeps it simple but packs a heavy punch" September 15, 2025 5.0 Overall the experience has been extremely positive with us feeling that we have certainly achieved great value for money based on the features available, the ease of use and the built-in security. We would highly recommend Docparser to anyone looking to automate document extraction. Pros The visual rule creator is fantastic allowing you to submit sample documents and then use them to locate the information you want to extract whilst creating the rules. It makes the learning curve of the product much easier than other products as you can see the results real-time. The dashboards allow you to quickly see how many documents have been processed and provides immediate access to the data stored within the Docparser system. Cons Retention of data is limited on some of the plans and this means that you must ensure you have copies saved elsewhere before they are removed, however even on the lower plans the retention is still about 90 days. Review Source MD Mitchell D. President Farming Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy and Automated Data Extraction" September 15, 2025 5.0 I would recommend Docparser to any business looking to automate workflows from standard PDFs that they receive on a routine basis. It took us a couple of months to really get things tweaked, but the system runs in the background now and we are happy with the setup. Pros Data extraction is easy and automated. We import PDFs directly into our order entry system. Through the use of emailing scripts and Docparser's webhooks, the processing is seamless. Cons When PDFs change or are scanned at an angle the data gets off. That can be hard to catch and fix at order entry time. We look at each raw PDF and verify the data on the way in. We've just made it part of our practice Alternatives considered [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/)[Wing Python IDE](https://www.capterra.com/p/182470/Wing-Python-IDE/) Reason for choosing Docparser It was easy to test and prove that it would do what we needed. It also supported email into the system and then an API back out. It served our needs at a price point that made sense. Review Source CR Colin R. Managing Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good in 2022, less good in 2025" June 5, 2025 3.0 In 2022, this was our choice but now we feel it has become complacent and fallen behind alternatives. Pros Good at receiving files/pages vi API, parsing data out via webhooks and holding mapping rules for specific elements. Cons It requires too much manual effort, is restricted on its AI capabilities, does not really assist with deriving the type of document before parsing and can be expensive. Review Source Response from Docparser June 6, 2025 Hi Colin, thank you for your honest feedback, we're working on some features in the coming months to help address your challenges. We would love to chat more- and will reach out with my personal email. Lindsay - GM PN Pieter N. Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and accurate results" September 16, 2025 5.0 We’ve been using Docparser since 2017, and it has consistently delivered excellent results. Over the years, the team has added many useful features and even implemented a few suggestions we made, which speaks volumes about their commitment to customer feedback. I would confidently recommend Docparser to anyone needing to extract structured data from PDFs—it’s a reliable, powerful tool that continues to evolve. Pros Docparser is incredibly intuitive and quick to learn, making it easy to get started. The interface is clean and user-friendly, and the data extraction results are second to none. One standout feature is the ability to not only extract data but also clean and format it to match specific needs—this flexibility has been a game-changer for our workflows. Cons While the platform offers a wide range of parser rules and filters for data cleanup, the sheer number of options can be overwhelming. It’s not always clear what the best practice is for tackling a specific parsing challenge, so I tend to stick with the rules I’m familiar with—even though I suspect there might be easier or more efficient alternatives available. Alternatives considered [Adobe Acrobat](https://www.capterra.com/p/251329/Adobe-Acrobat-DC/) Reason for choosing Docparser Accuracy, accuracy, accuracy. The ability to it to consistently convert it automatically without user input was also very important Review Source TM Teresa M. Office Manager Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very effective scraping" July 13, 2020 5.0 Pros The information that I was scraping was very tricky for similar products to accurately scrape. I was very pleased to find out that Docparser gave me the control to scrape my PDFs in unique ways to get as much of the information off as possible. It was easy to use and absolute perfect for what I needed it for. Cons Because I was running this daily I had a lot of documents with the same name in my previous run files. I wish there was a way to filter/rename/sort the previously run files to keep them more organized. Switched from [Octoparse](https://www.capterra.com/p/150508/Octoparse/) Octoparse was not able to extract the same data that DocParser was able to scrape and save. Review Source Richard S. Director Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great solution, more flexible than other options so great for problem solving" December 23, 2019 5.0 I have a huge number of customer PO's in pdf format to convert to data for uploading to the accounting system. This saves me 20 hours per month so well worth it! Pros The flexibility and different parse options, other solutions were very limited in their setup and document type options. Also the uploading and processing were incredibly fast, as well as being easy to use and setup as well as trouble shoot where needed. Cons Nothing comes to mind, all my needs were met Alternatives considered [Hubdoc](https://www.capterra.com/p/165724/Hubdoc/)[Dext](https://www.capterra.com/p/160189/Dext/) Reason for choosing Docparser Flexibility to get data in the the format I need from the set PO's Review Source DS Diaz S. Senior Software Developer Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Business Ready Solution" September 16, 2025 4.0 As a product 8/10. I wouldn't complain too much because this service is what it says on the box and they're always improving. From AI Summaries to predefined common use templates, its well worth it. The biggest take away should be that DocParser is essentially production ready from the get-go. I recommend this Doc Parser as my first choice for anyone looking for a similar solution. Pros \- Good UI, easy to navigate and well structured. - Well Priced, while the addons can be a bit costly, it isn't so costly as to make the service restrictive. - Great for Quick POC and Deployment - Data Extraction: Well formatted and easy to work with. - Maintains Original document which is great, and auto deletes after 90days by default so you don't have to construct complicated policies. Very user friendly, got our account and APIs set up in a matter of hours and working in production nearly as short of a time. Cons \- Can be tricky to understand some of the more overly simplified steps/components. - UI Loading times after edit can be frustrating. - Would like to see more around security (or at least indicators) for document malware and fraud detection for documents. (eg. Bank Document Modified after originally created) - While While I have no real complaints about the UI I would like to see some improvent by way of a dashboard and smoother data viewer (add tables and what-not) Review Source CN Carlo N. IT Manager Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Luckily you're here!" September 15, 2025 5.0 I'm more than satisfied with the product. I adopted DocParser when I was supposed to build something similar with my team, and it allowed my business to accelerate significantly. Pros I've found it very useful in several respects. What's been crucial for our business is the ability to create, within the same template, paths that create sub-rules, driven by slightly different aspects of the same document. Furthermore, the ability to easily transform the various steps step by step—just like with an ETL—is what makes the whole solution simple and effective. Last but not least, the ability to integrate everything easily with API calls and webhooks to external systems. Finally, costs are truly scalable, with credit plans available depending on workloads. Cons There are sometimes performance issues in workflows and writing rules that require many steps... I suggest the work team take this aspect into account, because sometimes modifying rules is a bit complex... but over time I have seen that the situation has steadily improved, I trust in you! Review Source RT Robert T. CTO Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable product that takes some time to master" August 28, 2025 5.0 Used it for several years now and uptime is excellent, support response is good. We never have issues with their API being down, or slow. The mapping can be a bit challenging, and I we have 2 staff that know the platform who are now expert users. It does take a bit for a user to get up to speed on the mapping process. Pros The interface is obvious, showing the most important things in easily accessible places. The API is well documented and reliable. Cons The act of mapping a PDF for extraction needs to be more capable or more adaptable. Sometimes we end up doing some goofy things to capture the data we want because we cannot do something obvious (such as take all the characters x characters before an identified string). Review Source AP Anx P. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We love Docparser" September 15, 2025 5.0 Great bit of software which has improved our operations and made us work faster and serve our customers better Pros Easy to set up! use it every day and it is really smart and reliable. The few times I have needed support they have been amazing Cons not much, be great if it is cheaper but other than that there is not much or anything to hate! The integrations are really useful and flexible. Review Source PK Peter K. Director Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Docparser saves us hours every month" September 15, 2025 5.0 We use Docparser for parsing and extracting data from supplier PDF invoices, we process over 2,500 per month and using Docparser saves us hours every week. All data is extracted extremely accurately and ends up in a Google Sheet. Pros Docparser is super easy to extract data from documents, their rule wizard is simple to use. It links up very easily with Zapier and PowerAutomate. They have good data retention and features like SSO and 2FA. Cons To be honest I can't really think of anything. Thought for 10 minutes and still can't come up with anything. Review Source MA Mike A. Senior Software Engineer Mining & Metals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It’s Thumbs Up" September 15, 2025 5.0 It’s been a great tool for my organization and regularly pays for itself in the time and effort it saves our team. Pros It just workers without a lot of figuring out. The customer support is also outstanding for the rare times I do have questions. Cons The parsing rules take a little getting use to but I don’t know how they could be made to work any better. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I stumbled onto everything I wanted but didn't know how to descrine" November 18, 2023 5.0 Pros Great for building your own logic and strategies from getting data from inconsistent layouts. It was a cost-effective solution that integrated with what we were doing from the get-go. Cons I can't really fault the value for money. I'd always love more more and more advanced features, but it tackles all the problems I throw at it.

We're glad you were able to keep costs low while also extracting data from inconsistent layouts! PB Paul B. Engineer Plastics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Docparser for Business Process Automation" April 30, 2019 4.0 The reason we implemented Docparser was to reduce our manual order entry work load and to reduce errors which typically occur during manual entry. We've been able to reduce our sales order manual order entry work load by 50% which helps us cope with our peak order entry periods much better. We've found that the work practices of our customers impact the the ability of the Docparsers to parse documents successfully. Some of our customers print and scan orders and send us scanned copies so the quality of the documents can vary. We have greater parsing success with customers who send orders generated by their business systems. Overall we are very happy with Docparser. It was relatively simple to implement, helps us cope better with high order entry periods and times when staff are on leave. Pros Relatively easy to implement. Very powerful and able to parse most documents. The system is able to do a webhook which means it's not necessary to poll for parsed files although it can do a polled architecture as well. Cons Does not implement OAuth 1.0 two factor authentication. We've implemented a fully automated system where customer orders are automatically forwarded to Docparser from our email server. Docparser then parses the pdf and forwards the data in JSON to an outward facing Suitelet in Netsuite. This Suitelet then does a Restful integration using OAuth 1.0 to a Netsuite Restlet. The Suitelet handles the required two factor authentication. The Restlet loads the order to Netsuite. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product" September 27, 2018 5.0 Pros It's relatively quick to set up parsing jobs with a minimum of technical ability. I'm always looking for low-code ways to automate workflows. There isn't another solution out there that is really comparable as far as I know. Cons It's not meant for high production short term jobs, their pricing is set up more for a steady volume, and the credits purchased each month don't roll over. But for creating multiple, recurring, steady volume jobs it's extremely well worth it. Review Source Response from Docparser October 4, 2018 Thanks for the review! I just wanted to let you know that we actually offer one-time purchases for jobs starting at around 20k+ documents. MH Matt H. Senior Outreach Manager Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Docparser saves my team hundreds of hours and helps identify new business opportunities" October 7, 2020 5.0 Every month my team would get a 700+ page PDF report with project status updates. Each page was a different project. Some of these were old projects and not of interest. Some were projects we were already working on and needed to keep tracking. Some were new projects that we needed to engage with. Searching and splitting up this document manually was inefficient and we were missing out on important projects. I started searching for solutions, from Python scripts to PowerQuery to software packages/services. I looked at several companies, including Docparser. I attended webinars and had demos. By being able to try our Docparser's free tier with some sample documents, I was able to figure out that it could do exactly what I wanted. I got some help from the user support team and now I've got my parsing rules perfected. So every month when the 700+ page PDF comes out, I can pull out the information my team needs and export it all to Excel. We're savings hundreds of hours of frustration and not missing anything important. Pros Very easy to setup because of helpful guides. I was able to "test drive" the software using the free tier, to make sure it could produce EXACTLY what I wanted. This was a huge help to evaluate vs other products and help make our decision. Now that I have my parsing rules set up, it's extremely easy to run my big report once a month and distribute to my team. Cons Bit of a learning curve to get the parsing rules set up correctly. I needed to attend their help webinar to understand what I was doing wrong (but then got lots of help). Reason for choosing Docparser Once I got started with free tier, it was really easy to test out and make sure it could do what I needed--no "leap of faith" required. Review Source Response from Docparser October 15, 2020 Thanks for your review, Matt! I'm glad your business is saving time and money with Docparser. MP Milind P. Small Business Owner Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A perfect tool for business automation" November 1, 2019 4.0 We were asked to build a solution that is cost effective, does not require experienced developer, can handle large volume and could be dovetailed in existing systems. Since simple forms could be mapped by the users themselves a feeling of ownership developed and the acceptance was very quick. DocParser was the unanimous choice. Pros I researched and tried several tools available for conversion of PDF to data, some good but very expensive and with a stiff learning curve, while others failing to meet the promises. Then I discovered DocParser. Within minutes I was able to map a requisition and export it to excel. Being so visual, training the team was no issue either. The guys just ran away with it and we tested some complex seemingly randomly formatted PO and invoices using sub tables. Mapping forms for Minor variations was no issue either using templates. Used API without any difficulties. Overall a great product . Cons Could not figure out how to build a library of keywords so that this could be included in every form for automation mapping. The transition of document in the three steps was initially confusing. Reason for choosing Docparser Both have a steep learning curve. Require sound programming knowledge. Expensive. Review Source JT John T. Business Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing functionality" July 3, 2018 5.0 Pros Has a lot of flexibility to identify data that may be displayed in multiple ways using a dictionary of words to detect what you are looking for. DocParser has allowed us to extract data from purchases and put it into a database to analyze for future purchasing needs. Cons I have nothing bad to say about DocParser thus far. If you think there is a feature that's lacking I suggest browsing their documentation because I learned I was doing a work around for a feature they had already implemented (different layouts under the same parser). Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Creative Director Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to set up" February 4, 2018 4.0 Pros Doc Parser is quick and easy to set up, had it up and running within 10 minutes, and does exactly what i need it to do. Cons The cost for Doc Parser is a little higher then Id like as I only use it for one task but can see the advantage if you had more then this. Review Source JV John V. Managing Director Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Parser" July 10, 2019 5.0 Our company receives weekly about 800 transport orders and all send in PDF format, it isn't possible for our client to change the format so we have to found solution for process PDF format orders to XML or CSV to use it in our TMS. Docparser provide a solid program for us and reduce our order entry time but more important the quality for processing is 100% because al is going automatically! Docparser is easy to use and most important they have a good support team, quick and good answer by questions. For sure we will recommend Docparser for everybody but for our competitors we keep it quiet 😊! Pros Easy setup and enough options for upload and downloading data! Cons Euh after 5 minutes still nothing, it works easy and very functional for my team. Review Source Abraham G. Bookkeeper Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Docparser changed my income " August 22, 2018 5.0 Pros I really like the idea of docparsing data from pdf or scanned PDFs I’m exited that I’m aware of such a great program I searched around for a long time. Cons A little too expensive but still affordable Review Source JH Johnette H. CEO Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Parsing .pdf files" March 10, 2019 4.0 Pros This is one of the coolest and fun to use tools I've ever seen. I highly recommend it to anyone who has lots of invoices or other documents to parse. Cons This software is not ready for big time users. I had 50k+ files to parse, and the constraints around input set size and output set size were too restrictive for me to work effectively. If you are going to be a big time user, I suggest you have a discussion with their support about the various limits. Admittedly, my situation is not their standard use case. But it works beautifully if you fit within their limits.

Growth Hacker Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Docparser Review" August 30, 2016 5.0 For loading up PDF's that have the same layout, this is really useful. You can batch the processing and get the info you want in return. Then you can send it to Google Sheets, or download it, or send it to Zapier, etc. lots of possibilities. Pros Easy to use interface, and also the OCR works well. You can also dump data into Google Sheets with their native integration. They also have a Free option for low volume users. Cons Could use some more documentation of how to type stuff and use case. Would love a tutorial video, as it would help walk me through, although there was a step by step in-app prompt. Could use "Paid Support/Setup" options so I can just farm out the work to their team. Review Source KF Karen F.

November 15, 2022 5.0 I had a great experience using Docparser and will have no problem using them in the future. Pros The feature that stood out the most for me was their easy-to-use bulk batch data extraction. I could not stand doing them one at a time but with Docparser that is a problem for the past Cons I did find it difficult extraction data from certain extensions but overall the data extraction was amazing!
