Scanbot Data Capture SDK vs Veryfi Invoices OCR API

Scanbot Data Capture SDK provides modules that extract key-value pairs from structured documents, with the aim of replacing manual data entry with automatic capture. Modules cover credit cards, checks, vehicle identification numbers, OCR, text patterns, EHIC cards, German medical certificates, and ID cards. Credit card capture reads the card number, cardholder name, and expiration date for Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Check capture reads MICR details such as check, routing, and account numbers, with support for US, French, Kuwaiti, Australian, Indian, Israeli, UAE, and Canadian formats. The SDK supports Android, iOS, Linux, web, and Windows; listed languages include JavaScript, TypeScript, C, Java, Python, and Node.js. Scanbot says processing happens on-device and offline, usage statistics are not collected, and the SDK cannot access customer scans. Its annual license includes technical support, updates, and feature upgrades. Pricing is on request, generally starting at $2,500 a year for simple use cases, and depends on capture requirements and the number of apps or domains. A free 7-day evaluation trial is available, but its license is not for production apps.

Veryfi Invoices OCR API extracts invoice information into structured JSON, including vendor details, line items, tax, and totals. It accepts documents such as PDFs and images, and the response includes OCR text for downstream applications. Veryfi says the API supports over 150 fields covering supplier, line-item, tax, and payment data. The product page describes checks for altered or duplicate invoices, including digital tampering analysis, PDF layer analysis, and duplicate detection. Developer resources include SDKs and code samples for Python, Node.js, PHP, C#, and Java, among other languages; n8n and Zapier are listed for workflow connections. Veryfi states that its platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and uses TLS 1.2 and 1.3, salted password hashing, and AES encryption at rest and in transit. It says it complies with GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA, and will sign a BAA upon request. The API is described for accounts payable, bill pay, and three-way purchase-order matching. The free plan allows up to 100 documents monthly. Starter costs $500 a month, with a minimum commitment and a listed $0.16; each transaction covers a document up to 15 pages.
