Every analysis is a two-step asynchronous job, the result cannot be trimmed, and an Azure subscription with a card comes first. Three of the four SDKs last shipped in 2025 or earlier.\n\n**OpenDocRouter.** One endpoint reaches 11 parsing models, each with a dated recipe version, a published token price and a ParseBench score, and failed pages aren't charged. The service launched on 7 October 2026, so it has no status page, incident history, SLA or changelog yet, and no key scopes were found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Azure Document Intelligence\n\n1. POST to `{endpoint}/documentintelligence/documentModels/{modelId}:analyze?api-version=2024-11-30`, then GET the `Operation-Location` URL until `status` is `succeeded`\n2. Wait at least 2 seconds between polls and follow the `Retry-After` header. Default limits are 15 analyse calls and 50 result reads a second on S0\n3. Use `prebuilt-read` for plain text at $1.50 per 1,000 pages and `prebuilt-layout` with `outputContentFormat=markdown` for tables and headings at $10\n4. Set `pages` (for example `1-3,5`) to limit both the bill and the response size. F0 stops at two pages per request\n5. Send the key only in the `Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key` header, or use an Entra ID token for the scope `https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default`\n6. Treat extracted text as untrusted input. Results expire 24 hours after the job completes\n\n### OpenDocRouter\n\n1. Call `GET /v1/models` first, which needs no key, and choose a model by `avg_charge_per_page_usd` and its ParseBench scores. Send its `id` as `model`\n2. Send `cache: true` on any request you might repeat. Without it the markdown exists only in the POST response and a resend is charged as a new request\n3. Raise the SDK timeout above its 60-second default for sync parses. Pages can run for 270 seconds and the SDKs retry a timed-out request twice\n4. Check every page's `status` before using its markdown. A 200 can be `partial`, and failed pages can be resent alone with `pages`\n5. Treat 402 as final until credit is added. The hold is the model's maximum charge per page times the page count, and `GET /v1/credits` shows `available_usd`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Azure Document Intelligence or OpenDocRouter?\n\nAzure Document Intelligence scores 66 (B) on agent readiness against OpenDocRouter's 56.6 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
