Airparser vs Instabase

Airparser turns emails, PDFs, and other documents into structured fields you define. Its text and vision language models plus AI OCR handle typed text, scans, and handwriting, with recognition in more than 60 languages. Low-confidence results can wait for human review, correction, and approval before export. Parsed information can be downloaded as Excel, CSV, or JSON, or sent to webhooks and services including Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Sheets, and Airtable. Python post-processing is included in plans, and an AI code assistant can draft and test code from plain-language instructions. Airparser works through the web and an API, with workflow routing and cloud deployment. Each parsed email, document, or PDF page consumes one credit, and unused credits expire at the billing period’s end. A Trial plan is listed at free with 20 credits/month and 30 days’ retention. Paid plans start at $33 a month, billed annually.
