The subscription math
Parseur — rented
Starts at $39/month (annual billing, 100 pages); free tier 20 pages/mo
[1]
Break-even:
2 months
of Parseur equals the one-time price.
Assumption: The $39 figure comes from Parseur's own comparison page; the main pricing page (fetched the same day) is a volume slider - 1 page = 1 credit.
Docsumo — rented
Starter $499/month - up to 5,000 pages (free plan 1,000 pages)
[2]
Break-even:
1 months
of Docsumo equals the one-time price.
Assumption: Nanonets verified the same day: $50 free credits then $100/month for 100 credits.
Savings calculator
SaaS figures use the cited plan price above (see the sources below);
per-seat plans scale by the seat count from the same cited price. This is arithmetic, not a quote.
Why owning beats renting here
- One payment. No per-month, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. Customer records never live in someone else's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records, users, and usage are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, you back it up, and updates are yours to apply — see the
product page for honest limitations.
