ExtractFoxExtractFox vs Parseur
Pick Parseur if your documents arrive by email and you need its mailboxes and Zapier, Make or webhook integrations. Pick ExtractFox if you upload PDFs, scans and photos and want a table back with no setup: it counts a file, not a page, and starts at $9 a month for 100 files or $5 once for 50.

The short version
Parseur is an email and document parser: you forward emails or upload PDFs to a mailbox, its AI engine or a template you build reads them, and the data goes to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Power Automate or a webhook. ExtractFox is an upload-and-extract tool and REST API: drop a PDF, scan or photo, pick a document type or describe the fields, and download Excel, CSV or JSON. The biggest practical difference is the unit: Parseur charges one credit per PDF page, so a three-page invoice costs three; ExtractFox charges one extraction per file.

Why teams switch from Parseur
Multi-page PDFs cost less
A 10-page bank statement is 10 Parseur credits and one ExtractFox extraction. On 100 statements a month that's Parseur's Starter plan (1,000 pages, $129) against ExtractFox Starter ($9).
Nothing to configure for one-off files
Upload a document Parseur has never seen and ExtractFox returns a table on the first try; for unusual fields, type what you want in plain English.
Pay once if volume is irregular
The $5 pack buys 50 extractions that never expire. Parseur's credits reset every billing period.
Pricing
ExtractFox
Two extractions without an account, 5 a month with a free one. Starter $9/mo for 100 extractions, Pro $19 for 300, Business $49 for 1,200, Scale $149 for 4,000. One-time pack: 50 for $5.
Parseur
Free: 20 pages a month. Micro $49/mo for 100 pages, Mini $89 for 300, Starter $129 for 1,000, Premium $269 for 3,000, Pro $499 for 10,000; yearly billing is cheaper (Micro $468 a year). One credit = one PDF page; an email or a spreadsheet counts as one.
ExtractFox is cheaper for uploaded PDFs, especially multi-page ones. Parseur is worth its price when emails are the input and you need its integrations.
When Parseur is the better pick
Pick Parseur if your documents arrive as emails, you need data pushed automatically to Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Power Automate or a webhook, or your files are mostly one page, where per-page and per-file pricing come out the same.
