Stop renting Docsumo.

Docsumo No public price - Business and Enterprise are quote-gated ('Talk to us') Cargora is $69 once, runs on your own server, and never invoices you again.

How Docsumo pricing grows

Docsumo no longer publishes a per-month price for its paid tiers — the Business plan requires contacting sales for a quote.

What Docsumo does that we don't

Docsumo advertises compliance with GDPR, SOC 2, and HIPAA standards, which regulated buyers may require.

Who should stay with Docsumo

If you need reconciliation for line items that lack a SKU, stay where you are — Cargora does not do that (it matches by SKU only, so line items without one are excluded from matching).

What Cargora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.

Why owning beats renting Docsumo.

One payment

No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Docsumo's cloud.

No plan ceilings

Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Cargora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off Docsumo.

Do I need my own API key?
Yes — Cargora requires an API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or a local Ollama instance. Your key is stored in your own database and transmitted only in the outbound request you trigger; it's never logged, echoed, or passed through any Cargora infrastructure.
Will it run on shared hosting?
Yes. Cargora requires PHP 8.1+ with pdo, curl, and fileinfo — extensions present on virtually all cPanel/Plesk hosts. MySQL and SQLite are both supported, and installation takes about two minutes through the web installer.
Does it integrate directly with my ERP?
No API, on purpose — Cargora writes goods-received, discrepancy and flat CSV exports with documented, test-pinned columns that ERPs import as files. Nothing to authorize, no token to expire, no integration that breaks on a vendor update.
Is extraction fully automated with no review?
No — Cargora is designed for human-in-the-loop review. You correct any field on screen before it enters your records or a reconciliation.
