ToSheet.ai and Parsio
Parsio gives you four parsers and asks you to pick — template, OCR, AI, GPT — and the one you pick changes what a document costs you. This has one path. You drop a file, we read it, and a page is a page whichever way it arrived.
Where Parsio is strong: Genuinely capable across the board: OCR for scans and handwriting, a no-setup AI parser, and Google Sheets as a first-class destination.
| ToSheet.ai | Parsio | |
|---|---|---|
| What it reads | Any document — PDF, scan, photo or Office file. | The same ground: emails, PDFs and images, with OCR for scanned and handwritten text. |
| Choosing how | One path. Nothing to choose. | Four parsers — template, OCR, AI, GPT — chosen per document type. |
| What a document costs | Pages. A page is a page. | Credits: 1, 2 or 3 per document or PDF page depending on which parser read it. |
| Where the rows land | A Google Sheet we create and keep appending to. | Google Sheets among many destinations, connected by you. |
| First result | A real sheet before you make an account. | Account first, then 30 free credits. |
Questions people ask
- Is the difference that you read more document types?
- No, and it would be unfair to say so — Parsio reads scans and handwriting too. The difference is how much of the decision is yours: which parser, at which credit cost, per document type. Here there is one path and one unit.
- 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 show you the first rows we read before the sheet is created, so you can see we are reading it the way you would — and if a document should be split some other way, you say so in your own words and we follow it.
- 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.
- What if there is no attachment — just the email?
- We read the message itself: its text becomes the rows, with the quoted thread and signature stripped first. When a file is attached we read the message alongside it, so a reference typed in the email can still reach its column.
- How is this counted — what is a page?
- Pages are what your plan is measured in, and everything we read counts as pages: each page of a document, each photo or scan, and the text of the email it arrives in. A document that produces forty rows still costs its pages, not its rows.
- 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. Several attachments on one email is fine: each is read on its own and adds its own rows. You never have to open this site again.
