Parse, extract, split and verify documents for AI agents

Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27

Overview

Extend offers separate modes for parsing, extraction, splitting and verification, aimed at teams building document workflows for production use. Pricing is credit based with 10,000 free credits and then $0.01 per credit pay as you go, with a custom Growth tier above that. It is built for engineers, so teams without developers will need a partner to wire up the review and downstream steps.

Our verdict

A well-priced, developer-first platform with clear modes for parsing, extraction and splitting. Non-technical teams should look at packaged IDP suites instead.

Best for
