Turn PDFs and 50+ file types into AI-ready structured data

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

Overview

Unstructured converts more than 50 file types into structured output through an API or MCP, with 10,000 free pages and then $0.015 per page pay as you go. Its site lists SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001 and FedRAMP High, with SaaS, dedicated and in-VPC deployment. It is tuned for preparing data for AI applications, so classic invoice-to-ERP workflows with review queues need extra tooling.

Our verdict

A solid ingestion layer with open pricing and a long compliance list. It prepares data for AI rather than running an end-to-end back office process.

Best for

Avoid if

You need an invoice workflow with approvals and ERP posting out of the box.
