Parsio vs Nanonets: a monthly credit plan against workflows billed per block run

Parsio vs Nanonets: what each costs to start

Parsio charges a fixed monthly price for a credit allowance: Starter is $29 a month, billed monthly, or $24 a month, billed annually ($290 a year), for 100 credits. Nanonets gives $50 in credits to start, then charges $100 a month for 100 credits, spent per block run. A block is one step in a Nanonets workflow, such as extracting data, classifying a document, formatting a field or posting to an integration.

Monthly credits against pay-per-block billing

Parsio charges 1 to 3 credits a page by engine: 1 on the template-based parser (the help center says 1 a document) and the OCR converter, 2 on the GPT-powered parser and 3 on the AI parser. Unused credits expire at the end of each billing period. Parsio's pricing page describes no overage fee; at the limit, nothing more is parsed until the next period unless you upgrade or renew the plan early. Parsio pricing lists every plan.

Nanonets charges $0.02 for a simple block run, $0.10 for a standard AI run and $0.30 for a complex AI run such as data extraction. Nanonets estimates 4 to 6 blocks per invoice and under $2 per invoice from end to end. Its credits never expire.

What each is built for

Parsio is built around four parser engines, mailboxes that each have their own forwarding address, and exports to Google Sheets, webhooks and an API. Nanonets builds workflows from blocks, and its Starter plan includes email integration and API access. For invoices in particular, see invoice parser.

Nanonets Starter allows up to 3 users, and its Growth plan is priced by quote with up to 40% volume discount. Parsio Starter serves one user; unlimited team members start at Growth, $149 a month, billed monthly, for 5,000 credits.
