Amazon Textract AnalyzeExpense vs Veryfi API

Amazon Textract AnalyzeExpense extracts financial text and data from invoices and receipts through an API or web service. Results can include grouped line items and summary fields such as purchased items, prices, receipt headers, and vendor names. The API can normalize field names and column headers to help downstream applications compare documents. It can also identify vendors from logos and extract items, quantities, and prices when those details have no labels or column headers. Supply documents as image bytes or an Amazon S3 object; AWS advises PDF, JPG, or PNG files, and invoice and receipt processing is English only. AnalyzeExpense processes synchronously. Asynchronous invoice and receipt analysis uses StartExpenseAnalysis and GetExpenseAnalysis. The listed rate is $0.01 per page for the first 1 million pages per month in US West (Oregon), then $0.008 per page; custom high-volume pricing is available. New AWS customers can use the Free Tier for three months, up to 100 pages per month. AWS says inputs may be used to improve Textract and related AI technologies, with an Organizations opt-out policy.
