Why Lido is the best Pdf.co alternative
Lido
Pdf.co
Setup time
Rule‑free and template-free. Go live in <5 min
Requires building a custom extraction template in the drag-and-drop editor for each document type; reviewers note a noticeable learning curve.
Handles multiple page formats in the same batch
AI recognises differing layouts in a single batch—no extra work
Works only after you create and save a separate template for every vendor; mixed batches rely on that template library.
Stays working when page layouts change
Template-free AI auto-adapts to new layouts automatically
Any layout shift means returning to the editor to redraw fields or accuracy drops until the template is retrained.
Page and file size limits
Supports documents as large as 1,000 pages or 500 MB, with parallel processing for multiple files.
Free plan max 10 MB/file (Business up to 120 MB); inline requests can’t exceed 4 MB, and bigger jobs need async upload.
Exporting & automation
One‑click Excel, OneDrive, and Google Drive sync (scheduled or real‑time). Automate data export to anything with an API
UI hooks for Zapier, Make, and cloud drives—deeper flows require API work.
Pricing
Plans start at $24/month for 100 pages. Unlimited data fields on all plans.
Credit-based—from $9.99/mo for 16.5 k credits; every page or call burns credits, and users call it pricey as volume grows.
Support
Live, US-based chat < 30 mins on all paid plans
Users describe the UI as “not user-friendly” and onboarding as steep

Reviews
What our customers say
Colin V., Operations Manager
Saves me time
I used to spend 10 hours a week manually sorting invoices. Now, with Lido, I process everything in under 30 minutes—and it’s 100% accurate every time.
Thomas L., Accounting Manager
Paid for itself in one week
I was skeptical at first after trying Claude, GPT, and other AI tools. But Lido worked with all of our weird invoice formats accurately and paid for itself in the first week.
Natalie M., Small business owner
Gave us another person
Close to 60% of our AP team's time was being spent on manual invoice entry. Lido reduced that to about 10% and freed up a half person's worth of capacity. That's huge for a company our size.
