The self-hosted Parseur alternative
Cargora: Extract POs and packing slips with your own AI key, then catch short shipments and price gaps automatically. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Parseur every month.
Stop renting Parseur.
2 months of Parseur costs what Cargora costs once.
Buy onceHow we counted: Parseur's pricing page lists Micro, 100 pages: $49 billed monthly or $468 a year billed annually (read 2026-09-24); the $39 is that annual price per month. Billed monthly, the same plan is $49.
Parseur's pricing is tiered by page volume — $468 a year for 100 pages a month up to $4,788 a year for 10,000 — so the subscription grows with the paperwork.

Parseur's OCR supports over 200 languages including non-Latin alphabets, which Cargora does not claim.

If you need direct ERP or accounting-system integration, stay where you are — Cargora does not do that (it only exports CSV/JSON for manual import, no direct ERP/accounting integration).
What Cargora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting Parseur.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in Parseur's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
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 Parseur.
Do I need my own API key?
Will it run on shared hosting?
Does it integrate directly with my ERP?
Is extraction fully automated with no review?
