DocTable
Docparser alternative — for extracting document data without parsing rules
Updated October 2026
DocTable is a Docparser alternative that needs no parsing rules: upload an invoice, statement or form in any layout and it returns Excel, CSV, Word or JSON the first time, without templates or setup. Your first 3 pages are free — scan and download, no card needed. After that, $3 buys 20 pages (one-time, no subscription). Try your first page without an account — sign in only to download it. It reads scans and photos, checks the arithmetic of every table, and handles Arabic, Persian and mixed-script documents.

Why people look for a Docparser alternative
Docparser works by rules: you choose from Docparser rules templates, or build your own custom document rules, using zonal OCR, pattern recognition and anchor keywords. That is precise once it is set up for a layout you receive every week. It is slow when every supplier, bank or customer sends a different layout, because each one needs its own rules first.
Pricing is a monthly plan: Starter at $39 a month for 100 parsing credits, Professional $74 for 250, Business $159 for 1,000 (lower on annual billing), where 1 credit is 1 document of 5 pages or fewer.
What DocTable does differently
- No parsing rules. A new layout works the first time; there are no issuer-specific templates to build or maintain.
- Arithmetic check. DocTable checks the arithmetic of the table it extracted — running balances, quantity × unit price, line items against the subtotal, subtotal + tax = total — and flags rows that do not add up in the preview and in the Excel file.
- Grouping. Up to 100 files per upload; documents of the same kind are grouped into one Excel file, different documents get separate files.
- Scripts. Latin scripts, Arabic, Persian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Devanagari, including mixed-script pages.
- API.
POST /v1/scan, background jobs atGET /v1/jobs/{id}with acallback_urlwebhook, and an MCP server; each result includes anauditand ahuman_review_requiredflag.
When Docparser is the better choice
If you receive the same few layouts every day and need exactly the fields you define sent on automatically — through webhooks, Zapier or Google Sheets — or you need XML output, Docparser's rules give you that control and DocTable has no Zapier connector, no direct Google Sheets export and no XML. DocTable fits when layouts vary and nobody has time to write rules.
What DocTable does not claim
No SOC 2 report, no guaranteed uptime SLA, no custom-trained models, no workflow builder. DocTable holds an upload in memory, sends it over TLS to a third-party AI model provider for extraction, does not keep the original after processing and never uses it to train models; the downloaded spreadsheet is deleted on a timer measured in minutes (details on the security page). A Data Processing Agreement is available on request (business). DocTable has no offline or on-device mode.
