ToSheet.ai and Parseur
Both start from an email address you forward to, and both can read a document without being shown a template first. The difference is what you end up holding. There, extraction is the product and the destination is one of a thousand connectors you pick and configure; here the Google Sheet is the product — we create it, share it and keep appending to it, and the columns are the only thing there is to configure.
Where Parseur is strong: A capable mail and document parser with template and AI engines, built-in OCR in 200+ languages, and a very large set of onward integrations.
| ToSheet.ai | Parseur | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup per sender | None. One example sets the columns for everything after it. | None with their AI engine; a template per layout if you want tighter control. |
| The destination | A Google Sheet, created for you, shared and appended to in place. | One of many connectors you choose and configure — Google Sheets among them. |
| What you configure | Column names and types, once. | The fields to extract, plus the integration that carries them onward. |
| Several documents in one file | Each becomes its own row, with the count shown before the sheet exists. | Depends on the engine and how the template is built. |
| First result | A real sheet before you make an account. | Account first — free to start, no card. |
Questions people ask
- Do I lose the integrations?
- Yes, and that is the honest trade. Everything here lands in a Google Sheet — if you need rows pushed into a dozen other systems, a general-purpose parser is the better fit.
- Can I try it against a document from the product I use now?
- That is what the dropzone above is for, and it needs no account. Use a real file — a clean sample proves nothing about the ones that actually give you trouble.
- Where does my data end up?
- In a Google Sheet on an unguessable link that anyone holding can edit. We keep the extracted row, not your document — the file is discarded once the sheet is built.
- I work in Excel. Can I get the data out of Google Sheets?
- Yes, and it is Google's feature rather than ours: Google Sheets will download any sheet as .xlsx or .csv from its own File menu, and it opens in Excel from there. What we build and keep filling is the Google Sheet itself — we never produce an Excel file, so anything forwarded later adds a row to the sheet and not to a copy you have already taken off it.
- What if one scan holds several documents?
- Each one becomes its own row. We tell you how many we found before the sheet is created, and you can correct it in one click if we got it wrong.
- Do photos from a phone work?
- Usually, yes — including stamped, stapled and hand-annotated copies. If a photo of a document is too blurry to read we say so rather than inventing a row.
- Who can see my Google Sheet?
- Only people you give the link to. The link is unguessable, anyone holding it can edit the sheet, and we never share it with anyone else.
- Do you keep my documents?
- No. We keep the extracted row, not the document. The file is discarded once your sheet is built.
- How does forwarding work?
- Your sheet gets its own address at in.tosheet.ai. Forward a document there — from your own mailbox, or straight from whoever sends them to you — and ToSheet.ai adds its row within seconds. You never have to open this site again.
