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 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 BG Benson G. IT Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Impressive Data Handling Platform " May 1, 2024 5.0 Pros Docparser has an accurate data entry solution, and this makes the process of data preparation swift. Cons Docparser creates a sustainable and universal data managing platform. Review Source TG Thore G. Projektmanager Digitalisierung Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use and very scalable" September 21, 2023 5.0 Its a great and simple tool. It gives you exactly what you are looking for which was in my case to extract order data from pdf documents. Pros Pricing model is great. You can use a full version for free as testing version as long as you only need a few test documents. Later on the more the usage grows the smaller the price gets per document.Many and also very easy ways to connect Docparser to our system environment.There is always a way to extract exactly the information that we need (sometimes a little complicated (see below) Cons Some functions are only available in tables and others only in running text. From time to time I was searching for a function I needed, but could not find it. But in the end there was always a way to make it work. Reason for choosing Docparser I was not involved in that process, but as far as i know it was recommended by another company. Review Source AL Adam L. President Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Thank goodness there is something that does what DocParser does" February 27, 2019 5.0 They have been very easy to work with. Pros We need to manage thousands of PDF invoices and were typing up the details manually. We found Docparser and it has been a amazing. We created parsing rules that allowed us to take very fragmented data and get it into an orderly format that can be pulled into excel. There are multiple PDF formats and all could be pulled in with Docparser through their flexible tools. We are converting about 3500 invoices per month but expect this to grow significantly in the future. This tool is giving us a simple way to grow our business because it is automating tasks that used to take hours. The best part is our previous process was prone to errors which this eliminates. In my searching for solutions, I did not find anything else that would do what Docparser does that would be simple, cloud based and affordable. Cons It took a bit of time to set up the templates but nothing that seemed out of the ordinary for the fragmented data we were trying to convert. Review Source Andy M. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sweet software. Easy to use. Very effective. Hugely labor saving." February 1, 2018 5.0 We saved 60 man hours per month. Pros This was designed like I would have designed it except even better. These guys are visionary. We quickly designed a process that saved us 80 hours per month in labor. Review Source JR Jarrett R. Accounts Payable Software Administrator Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Satisfactory and Effective Software (3 months of use)" May 3, 2019 5.0 I'm helping a business owner get organized with their invoices and they have loved the help that Docparser allows me to provide. I don't see my use of Docparser stopping because it's a fundamental tool to the service that I'm providing. Pros All of my questions were fairly easy to find in the documentation, and it fit the task that I was trying to accomplish. When building filters, or integrating data, I hit snags—as is expected—but there are so many different ways to extract the important information (and get it where it needs to go) that has all have been fixed. It has a very intuitive interface, and it seems to do all the things that I hoped it would do. Cons I had a customer service question that got a response, but then the person never got back to me after the initial contact. The problem has apparently gone away, but I wasn't wild about the exchange. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Law Student Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best Tool We Never Knew We Needed" October 15, 2019 4.0 Docparser is a great tool for people who have a large volume of incoming documents/forms. I never realized that something like this even existed, and I certainly wouldn't have expected it to be so reliable and smart. This has been a HUGE time-saver for us and is more than worth it. Pros In short, this software is smart and ridiculously reliable. We have been using this software to extract the pertinent data from incoming documents, and assembling the data into compartmentalized sections. I have particularly enjoyed its functionality with Google Docs and other Google files. Cons I have only encountered a couple of issues that I didn't know how to solve, and their customer service team was prompt to explain what I was misunderstanding. I have no complaints about Docparser. Review Source SM Samuel M. Data Analyst Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Developer friendly" December 3, 2018 5.0 Apart from the ability to parse documents, I am very impressed with the integration tools especially the API that I am using at the moment. I can connect Qlik Sense Desktop directly to Docparser API, and that makes my workflow a lot easier and faster. I found the Layout Model is a bit confusing. For example in a Layout Model, when I click at "Add Parsing Rule" I am expecting to see a list of parsing rules that I can copy or create a new one. Pros \- User-friendly interface. - Easy to use. - Does not require much time to understand the process. - A lot of integration tools. Cons \- API documentation should have been more example. - I could not find the way to copy an existing parsing rule into a Layout Model. It would be better to be able to copy and alter an existing one rather than creating from the ground up. - For a large organisation, it will be quite a lot of parsing rules; it would be nice if I can search or categorise the parsing rules. 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 Mark S. Head Of Business Operations Consumer Electronics Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Takes care of the 10% of processes that previously had to be handled manually" February 3, 2018 4.0 Pros Most things can be automated. However, there are always about 10% of items that fall out of process and have to be executed manually. DocParser has moved us from 90% automation to 100% automation. It gives our team the ability to automate documents that come outside of our normal workflow. We combined the parsing skills of DocParser with ETL tools and are able to automate the upload of forms to our ERP. Cons The software is still in it's early stages, so there are a few kinks to work through. However, the team is extremely responsive and helps us overcome any issues we find.

Pros It's stable and there is no other like it in the market. Cons Nothing, it\[s just great. So far so good! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Makes CRM integration easy" April 1, 2019 5.0 This has save hours every week performing data entry and eliminate human error. Pros The interface and functions are easy to navigate and it is flexible enough to take data provided by a business partner in PDF form and convert it for easy import into our CRM with a Zapier Zap. This previously took hours every week of manually data entry. Now the process is completely automated. Cons The regular expression search and replace doesn't work exactly as I would expect. I had to create multiple regex search and replace filters that should be possible in one. It could be a misunderstanding on my part. Review Source kT kurtis T. Owner Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "helping automate an old industry" May 7, 2020 5.0 They offered a generous free trial that allowed me to get it up and running in a full production environment, allowed my engineering team to connect their API to our internal API. We were fully operational in a production environment before we paid anything, which made signing up for a monthly sub an easy sell. Pros I liked the fact that someone like me who doesn't have a computer science degree was able to get this up and running in a matter of a few hours. Cons I can't find anything I didn't like as it accomplished the exact task that I needed which was reading a set of specific PDF's that we receive from our customers. Review Source PP Phil P. Owner Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Service for Processing Documents and Building Custom Workflows" February 22, 2019 5.0 The overall experience is great. Pretty solid results and no loss of data that I know of. Pros This is pretty easy to use and makes processing documents easy. The features are robust and the possibilities are endless. It does take some experimenting to get the forms to parse correctly but the website makes it easy to see your results when testing your data filters Cons The cost seems a bit high for how we are using it but the value of what it does is there. We don't use it to its fullest potential. Review Source IS Isaac S. Consultant Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Full Marks; Lifesaver" May 3, 2018 5.0 Saved a ton of time. Pros I loved the ease of use. The process of dragging and dropping, identifying which columns of the bank statements I needed to extract into Excel, and then converting PDF scans into a flexible Excel that could then be adjusted into a CSV for importing into QBO became super simple and efficient with DocParser. Cons My only complaint is that DocParser collects its fees in USD which is a bit inconvenient for us Canadians. Review Source OH Owen H. Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Automates all the outputs I need as a 1-man business" April 11, 2020 5.0 Docparser really can’t be more helpful. They help you with your parsing rules, they get back to you if you’ve got a problem you can’t solve. They’ve been amazing. Pros Docparser does what its core mission is very very well. That is to extract text from pdfs and output it in the format you want. Cons I would love a feature to also strip out images - so these can be used as well. Reason for choosing Docparser Docparser integrates with zapier to create a really incredible functionality. Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
