2 months of Mindee costs what Extracta costs once.

Buy once

How we counted: Stored at the dollar Starter price on annual billing ($53). Re-read 2026-09-26 with a US and a European time zone: Mindee sets the currency by time zone. The 44/529 (Pro 116/1,393) recorded on 2026-09-03 match exactly what a European browser is shown today in euros (44 €/month, 529 €/year; Pro 116 €, 1 393 €; monthly 49 € and 129 €); in dollars the card reads $53/$636 and $134/$1,608. 1 page processed = 1 credit.

How Mindee pricing grows

Mindee prices its plans by a monthly credit allotment sized to throughput, so a business picks (and pays for) a higher credit tier as its document volume grows.

What Mindee does that we don't

Mindee gives Enterprise customers a named account manager rather than a shared support queue.

“Dedicated account manager”, their own page
Who should stay with Mindee

If you need a dedicated OCR engine with confidence scores, stay with Mindee — Extracta has no OCR built in (it relies entirely on the LLM's vision capability) and is single-tenant: one business per installation, with teammates added as viewer, member or admin on the Team page.

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

Why owning beats renting Mindee.

One payment

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

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Mindee'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 Extracta vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off Mindee.

Is my API key safe?
It's stored in your own database and transmitted only in the outbound HTTPS request you trigger to your chosen provider — never logged, echoed, or passed through any Extracta infrastructure.
Will this run on shared hosting?
Yes — PHP 8.1+ with pdo, curl, and fileinfo, extensions present on virtually all cPanel/Plesk hosts; installs through the web installer in about two minutes.
Do I need my own API key?
Yes — an OpenAI or Anthropic API key, or a local Ollama instance, is required; Extracta doesn't include one.
What about PDFs?
Image formats (PNG, JPEG, WebP) work reliably with all three providers; Anthropic handles text-layer PDFs natively, while OpenAI and Ollama treat PDFs as best-effort.
Better together
