No status page, rate limit numbers, changelog or official SDK were found, and documents are retained by default, with zero retention limited to Scale and Enterprise.\n\n**Mistral OCR API.** Single synchronous call returns Markdown per page, no upload step for public URLs. OCR API at 99.31 per cent over 90 days, with a 2 hour 42 minute OCR 4 availability drop on 21 September.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Invofox\n\n1. Ask the owner for an API key and the Document Type id or alias from app.invofox.com. No API endpoint lists Document Types\n2. Upload with POST /v1/ingest/uploads as multipart, with `info` as a JSON string. Send `\"useClassifier\": true` in place of `type` to have the type detected\n3. Expect 404 from GET /documents/{id} for the first seconds. Poll from 5 seconds with doubling, and stop at approved, pendingCorrection or discarded\n4. Handle the `file.rejected` webhook or check the import. A rejected file never produces a document, so polling the document waits indefinitely\n5. Do not retry an upload blindly. There is no idempotency key, so send your own id in `clientData` and look it up with `filter` first\n\n### Mistral OCR API\n\n1. Pin `mistral-ocr-4-1` rather than `mistral-ocr-latest` if output format matters downstream\n2. Set `table_format` to `html` for tables with merged cells\n3. Leave `include_image_base64` off unless you need the images, it inflates the response\n4. Pass `pages` to OCR only the pages you need, since billing is per page\n5. Upload private files through `/v1/files` and pass the signed URL\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Invofox or Mistral OCR API?\n\nMistral OCR API scores 58.8 (C) on agent readiness against Invofox's 46.8 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Invofox leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do Invofox and Mistral OCR API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Invofox and Mistral OCR API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Invofox has a hosted endpoint at https://api.invofox.com and Mistral OCR API at https://api.mistral.ai/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/invofox-vs-mistral-ocr.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/invofox-vs-mistral-ocr.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"invofox\", \"b\": \"mistral-ocr\"}`.
