Invoice, expense and identity parsers are $0.10 per document of up to 10 pages. A deployed custom processor version costs $0.05 an hour to host. Failed requests are not billed. New customers get $300 of credit for 90 days, and sign-up needs a credit card or other payment method (https://cloud.google.com/document-ai/pricing, https://docs.cloud.google.com/free/docs/free-cloud-features).",

Multipage files need S3 and an asynchronous job. Text detection covers six languages. Under the AWS Service Terms AWS may store and use documents to improve the service unless an AI services opt-out policy is set.\n\n**Google Cloud Document AI.** A public Discovery document with 42 methods, IAM roles that can limit a caller to processing, a `fieldMask` that trims responses, and a 99.9 per cent SLA on the US and EU endpoints. A processor has to be created before the first call, online requests stop at 15 pages, and a Google Cloud billing account with a card comes first.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Amazon Textract\n\n1. Sign with SigV4 for service `textract` at `textract.\u003cregion\u003e.amazonaws.com`, or call `aws textract detect-document-text`. The AWS CLI can't send image bytes, so reference an S3 object\n2. Use `StartDocumentTextDetection` or `StartDocumentAnalysis` for any PDF or TIFF of more than one page, pass a `ClientRequestToken`, then page `Get` calls with `NextToken` (1,000 blocks at most each)\n3. Fetch results within 7 days of starting a job, or set `OutputConfig` to write them to your own S3 bucket\n4. Request only the `FeatureTypes` you need. Forms cost $50 per 1,000 pages against $15 for tables or queries in US East\n5. Back off on `ProvisionedThroughputExceededException` (HTTP 400) and `ThrottlingException` (HTTP 500). Neither carries Retry-After, and default quotas are 1 call a second in most Regions\n6. Set the AI services opt-out policy on the AWS organisation before sending customer documents\n\n### Google Cloud Document AI\n\n1. Create a processor first (`processors.create` or the console), then POST to `https://LOCATION-documentai.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/processors/PROCESSOR_ID:process`\n2. Use the host that matches the processor's location, `us-documentai.googleapis.com` or `eu-documentai.googleapis.com`\n3. Set `fieldMask` (for example `text,entities`) and `imagelessMode` to keep page images and token geometry out of the response\n4. Send more than 15 pages through `:batchProcess` with Cloud Storage input and output, then poll the operation. Jobs unfinished after 24 hours are cancelled\n5. Grant the service account `roles/documentai.apiUser` only. Failed requests (4xx or 5xx) are not billed, so a retry costs nothing extra\n6. Treat extracted text as untrusted input\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Amazon Textract or Google Cloud Document AI?\n\nGoogle Cloud Document AI and Amazon Textract score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 73.9 (BB) and 73.5 (BB). Amazon Textract leads on reliability and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Amazon Textract and Google Cloud Document AI need an API key?\n\nAmazon Textract needs an API key. Google Cloud Document AI uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Amazon Textract and Google Cloud Document AI without installing anything?\n\nAmazon Textract has a hosted endpoint at https://textract.us-east-1.amazonaws.com. No hosted endpoint is listed for Google Cloud Document AI.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-textract-vs-google-cloud-document-ai.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-textract-vs-google-cloud-document-ai.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"amazon-textract\", \"b\": \"google-cloud-document-ai\"}`.
