Document Parser vs Mailparser

Document Parser extracts structured information from emails, attachments, and uploaded files, then makes it available as spreadsheet data. Users can upload PDFs, Word files, and other formats, or forward messages to a unique cloudHQ-issued address for automatic parsing. Attachments in forwarded emails can be processed too. Extracted fields include contacts, invoice dates, amounts, due dates, vendors, names, email addresses, and phone numbers. Users can define processing rules for emails and documents. Parsed information can be downloaded as spreadsheet data; the product overview also lists Excel and JSON exports. It accepts forwarded mail from any email provider and can send extracted data into a workflow. The maker describes uses including invoice processing, accounting records, customer data extraction, legal documents, medical forms, and education records. Document Parser is a web product presented by cloudHQ, which says it was founded in 2011. Its Free plan is for one user and limited to 20 documents. Premium costs $69.90 a month per user and includes email and phone support.

Mailparser is a cloud service that extracts structured data from recurring emails and sends it to other applications or downloadable files. Its web tool can generate parsing rules by analyzing email structure, while custom rules can read subjects, headers, bodies, sender and recipient fields, and attachments.

Listed connections include Salesforce, Slack, QuickBooks Online, Google Sheets, and HTTP webhooks, with API access available. Supported attachments include CSV, XLSX, DOCX, PDF, and TXT; images and scanned documents are not supported. Mailparser says transfers are encrypted, passwords are one-way hashed, and staff access data only when assistance is requested. The 30-day free trial includes 30 credits. Starter monthly billing costs $29.95 a month for 250 emails and 20 inboxes.
