MailParse vs Parserr

MailParse receives inbound email and converts MIME messages into structured JSON. It extracts text and HTML bodies, inline images, attachments, headers, and routing details, including nested and multipart messages. Parsed results can be sent by POST to a configured webhook, with exponential-backoff retries and HMAC signature verification, or retrieved through a REST polling API. Polling supports filters for sender, date range, subject, and attachment type, with cursor-based pagination. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validation, spam scoring, and per-address rules support message handling. Attachments use signed download URLs and are retained for 72 hours by default, with plan-based retention settings. Custom domains require an MX record and ownership verification. If a webhook is unavailable, retries continue for up to 24 hours, with replay and polling recovery. MailParse offers API and web access. Free includes 100 emails monthly; Pro costs $29 per month and Scale $99 per month.

Parserr turns information from incoming emails and documents into structured data for other systems. Users can configure extraction rules and send results through a visual interface without coding. Its processing covers invoices, documents, email, PDFs, resumes, and attachments; supported files include Word, PDF, CSV, spreadsheets, DOC, XLSX, XLS, TXT, LOG, and KML. The PDF parser can extract metadata, text, graphics such as handwritten notes, tables of contents, attachment names and IDs, scanned text, and font or style information.

Direct integrations include Excel, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets, Power Automate, Zapier, SharePoint, SFTP, and Webhook, with more app connections through Zapier or Power Automate. The free plan costs nothing and allows 15 emails and 10 documents per month. All plans include a 30-day free trial; paid plans start at $49.99 a month. The hosted service does not include storage, so clients are responsible for saving parsed data. Parserr says browser traffic uses 256-bit SHA encryption and stored data in Amazon S3 uses AES-256 server-side encryption. It states that it is GDPR compliant and supports retrieval or deletion of personal data.
