Our most accurate setting reads documents as well as the best tool we tested, for less than half the price. Our lightest setting is the cheapest of them all and still beats all but one of the leading AI models. Chart: Parse Index against cost per 1,000 pages. Each run is named beside its company mark. The line is the Pareto frontier: no other run is both cheaper and more accurate than a run on it. Cost is on a log scale, so the best trade-off sits top left. | Model | Parse Index | OmniDocBench | ParseBench Content Faithfulness | USD / 1,000 pages | | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | | NDI High | 0.820 | 92.6 | 91.16 | 7.00 | | LlamaParse Agentic | 0.820 | 89.4 | 91.78 | 13.80 | | GPT-6 Astra (low) | 0.813 | 89.6 | 90.67 | 70.57 | | NDI Low | 0.805 | 93.8 | 89.05 | 3.50 | | LlamaParse Cost Effective | 0.799 | 87.4 | 89.87 | 3.80 | | Mistral OCR 4 | 0.796 | 89.2 | 89.55 | 4.00 | | Anthropic Opus 4.7 | 0.787 | 88.2 | 90.26 | 71.40 | | Databricks Parse (high) | 0.784 | 90.3 | 88.25 | 6.12 | | Chandra-2 (Datalab) | 0.773 | 88.6 | 83.70 | 10.00 | | Extend AI v1 | 0.766 | 85.9 | 84.59 | 6.00 | | GPT-5.6 Terra | 0.766 | 89.1 | 82.56 | 15.51 | | Azure DI | 0.762 | 86.3 | 84.93 | 10.00 | | Reducto Parse | 0.744 | 83.1 | 86.37 | 30.00 | Parsing leaderboard export, 15 September 2026.

Layout-aware Markdown with source locations. ### Split `POST /v1/split`. One packet becomes the documents inside it. Page ranges for each document in a mixed upload. ### Classify `POST /v1/classify`. Labels come from your taxonomy. Document or page labels from your taxonomy. ### Extract `POST /v1/extract`. Every field says found, not found or ambiguous. JSON Schema output, a status and a citation on every field. ### Ground `POST /v1/ground`. A location, not a judgment. Any quote resolved to its page, cells or span. ## Whatever the file, the answer points back. - Page and box: PDF, Word, PowerPoint, images and scans, Visio - Sheet and cells: Excel, CSV, XML, read cell by cell - Span and timestamp: Text, HTML, email, audio and video ## One platform. Four boundaries. Same models, same API at every tier.
