Stop renting Parseur.

2 months of Parseur costs what Cargora costs once.

Buy once

How 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.

How Parseur pricing grows

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.

What Parseur does that we don't

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

Who should stay with Parseur

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.

One payment

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

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Parseur'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 Parseur.

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.
