MailFrame vs noima

MailFrame is a developer-first API that turns raw email into JSON validated against a schema. A request can include raw RFC 822 MIME or plain-text email-like input and a JSON Schema, with validated JSON returned synchronously. Developers can provide an inline schema without registering or choose from prebuilt schemas covering Stripe and Shopify receipts or orders, PayPal, Amazon, Apple App Store and Google Play receipts, GitHub notifications, invoices, travel bookings, and shipping notifications. Signed HMAC-SHA256 webhook delivery supports retries, attempt history, a dead-letter queue, and replay, for downstream systems that accept webhooks. The current API accepts raw MIME and plain-text input; PDF and image parsing are planned, not currently supported. MailFrame says it retains email content only as long as needed for delivery and debugging, does not sell or share customer data, and stores API keys in hashed form. The service is in limited early access, onboarding developers in weekly batches. The Free plan provides 100 parse operations per month without a credit card; paid plans start at $19 per month. SOC 2 Type II is on the roadmap, and MailFrame says it is not yet HIPAA-eligible as a Business Associate.

noima extracts requested information from emails, PDFs, scans, and spreadsheets, returning it in structured formats. Users can describe extraction needs in plain language or have AI create classifiers and extractors from sample documents. An AI splitter can divide multi-document PDFs into sections or treat each page separately. Inputs arrive through a workspace email inbox, file upload, or API; supported formats include PDF, EML, HTML, TXT, JPG, PNG, BMP, DOCX, XLSX, XLS, CSV, and Markdown, with a 20 MB limit per file. Results can be exported as Excel, CSV, JSON, or Markdown, or retrieved by API. Small, Balanced, and Pro models use one, two, and three credits per document, respectively. Quotas are shared across an account’s workspaces, and processing stops when the allowance runs out. Failed documents are retried automatically without extra document charges for retries, though an ultimately failed upload still uses one document. The maker says data is hosted in the EU and handled in line with GDPR. Plans include a free one-time allowance and paid tiers starting at €12/mo.
