ParsedMail vs Parseur
ParsedMail is a Parseur alternative built around the email itself: each workflow gets an inbox, a language model reads the body and attachments against a typed schema, and you pay per email with a separate page allowance for attachments. Parseur is document-first and prices per page, which suits heavy PDF volumes.
Two different starting points
Parseur is document-first: it is built around documents, and its pricing counts pages, according to its pricing page in October 2026. ParsedMail is email-first: the unit is an email, read with its attachments, with quoted replies, signatures and footers ignored. Both turn incoming documents into structured data. The right one depends on whether your data mostly lives in email bodies or in long attachments. For the ParsedMail side of that, see how the AI email parser reads emails.

Pricing at similar volumes
Parseur lists plans from 49 EUR a month for 100 pages up to 499 EUR a month for 10,000 pages, according to its pricing page in October 2026. ParsedMail counts emails, and attachment pages separately (a PDF page is one page, about 3,000 characters of text or CSV is one page). An email without attachments uses no pages.
| Typical month | ParsedMail | Parseur |
|---|---|---|
| 100 one-page documents | Starter, $49 a month or $24 billed yearly (1,000 emails, 300 pages) | 49 EUR a month |
| 1,000 emails, few attachments | Starter, same price | A plan between its entry and top tiers |
| 5,000 emails, 2,000 PDF pages | Growth, $149 a month or $74 billed yearly | A plan between its entry and top tiers |
| 10,000 PDF pages | Scale, $499 a month or $249 billed yearly (25,000 emails, 10,000 pages) | 499 EUR a month |
When most of the value sits in email bodies, per-email pricing usually goes further. When every email carries a long PDF, the two converge. See the pricing page for every limit.
When Parseur is the better choice
- Your input is mostly long documents, and you want a tool built around documents first.
- You process documents that do not arrive by email at all.
- You prefer to start with a guided demo before setting anything up.
In those cases Parseur is a sensible choice.
When ParsedMail fits better
- Values live in the email body: order confirmations, lead notifications, booking emails. See lead email parsing.
- One inbox receives several kinds of email, and you want classification to pick the right schema per email (Growth and Scale).
- You want typed values such as money objects and ISO dates, plus a JSON Schema you can validate against.
- You build on an API and want signed webhooks, idempotency keys and replay. See the email parsing API.
How to migrate from Parseur
- Recreate each mailbox as an inbox. One ParsedMail inbox per workflow, with an address like
[email protected]. - Describe the fields. Use the same field names you export today so downstream tools keep their mappings.
- Test with past emails. Run a handful of real samples through the schema test in the dashboard.
- Forward in parallel. Add the new address as a second forward or BCC for a week and compare results.
- Switch destinations. Point your webhook, Make scenario or Zapier Zap at ParsedMail and remove the old forward.
