Google Document AI review

Google Document AI ranks sixth because it offers clear per-page pricing and a wide set of processors, but it is a developer service rather than a finished tool. On its pricing page, Form Parser and the Custom Extractor both cost $30 per 1,000 pages up to one million pages a month and $20 after that, and Google notes the custom extractor costs the same whether it runs on a generative AI processor or a trained model. Specialized invoice, expense and utility parsers are priced separately, a procurement document splitter and classifier costs $0.05 per classified document, and a Layout Parser handles chunking for retrieval pipelines. Savings plans reduce rates further. What you do not get is a review screen, approval routing or ERP connectors: your team builds those on Google Cloud. Some processors are also limited-access and require a request form. For finance teams without developers, Rossum or Nanonets is a better fit.
