Stop renting Nanonets

Nanonets — rented
Credit-based: "$50 in free credits, no card required" to start, then "$100/month for 100 credits". Runs are priced per block — simple $0.02/run, standard AI $0.10/run, complex AI $0.30/run. "No platform fees. No seat licenses." Their own worked example: under $2 per invoice end-to-end [1]
billed every month, forever · your data in their cloud
Extracta — yours
$89.00
one-time · self-hosted · your data, your server
1 month of Nanonets equals this one-time price.
Buy once

Assumption: The $100 is the vendor's own monthly subscription line, not a volume estimate of ours — the actual bill depends on how many blocks each document runs, which is why the per-run prices are quoted in full rather than averaged into a single number. Extracta is $89 once and calls the model YOU configure with YOUR key, so the per-page cost is whatever your provider charges and nothing is metered by us.

How Nanonets pricing grows with you

Nanonets meters by RUN rather than by seat: a document costs whatever its blocks cost, so the bill follows volume instead of headcount.

What Nanonets does that we don't

Nanonets publishes its own worked example of what a document costs end-to-end, and starts every account with free credits before any card.

Who should stay with Nanonets

Stay with Nanonets if you want the model, the infrastructure and the accuracy tuning delivered as a service, with support to call when a layout changes. Extracta is the opposite trade: one payment, your own API key, your own server, and a human review step before anything is accepted — no per-page meter, and no documents leaving the building except to the model you chose. Full honest limitations are on the product page.

Why owning beats renting Nanonets

  • One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
  • Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Nanonets's cloud.
  • No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
  • It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.

Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Extracta vs Nanonets comparison.
