In their own words
AskYourPDF
AskYourPDF lets users ask questions about documents, get summaries, embed an AI agent on a website, and fill PDF forms with supplied data. Document chat works with uploaded PDFs or text documents; the website agent can draw on web pages and PDF, TXT, PPT, PPTX, EPUB, and RTF files. The site says that agent answers only from the provided sources. To complete a form, users pair a fillable or non-fillable PDF with data from another PDF, a text file, or pasted content. The embedded agent works with plain HTML, WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Shopify, Squarespace, React, Vue, and Next.js. AskYourPDF also offers a Chrome extension and Zotero and ChatGPT plugins. Its API supports PDF data extraction, document chatbots, searching and navigating PDF contents, and conversations across multiple documents. The Free plan allows one document per day, 50 questions per day, and three conversations per day, with 100 pages per document and a 15MB upload cap. Premium is listed at $11.99 a year, billed per month and billed yearly.
ChatPDF
ChatPDF lets users summarize documents and ask questions about their contents using conversational AI. Answers include citations that point to references in a PDF, and users can organize files in folders or discuss multiple PDFs in one conversation. It accepts PDFs in any language and supports conversations in any language; listed file types also include Word, PowerPoint, Markdown and text. Sharing links can be created, with access permissions managed or revoked. ChatPDF says documents are encrypted during transfer and storage and can be deleted by the user. Queries are routed dynamically between GPT-4o and GPT-4o-mini. The service works in a browser on any device and is listed for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows. Its backend API accepts uploaded PDFs or public URLs and lets users query them to build custom PDF chatbots. The API documentation limits each PDF to 2,000 pages or 32 MB and describes the chat API as stateless. The Free plan costs nothing and allows two documents per day.
