docAnalyzer

Overview

docAnalyzer is a source-grounded document workspace for asking questions, working with notes, and turning document collections into downloadable outputs. It suits researchers and other practitioners who need traceable answers and batch processing; its reliance on web access and the absence of Google Drive and OneDrive connectors may rule it out for other workflows.

Its strongest case is the combination of citations, OCR, and batch workflows. The trade-off is that useful capacity and features depend on plan, while image, audio, and video files cannot be uploaded as standalone sources.

Key features

Three chat modes target different scopes: Ask docAnalyzer handles workspace-wide requests, Focus chat works with selected sources, and Co-work chat helps edit notes. Cited claims link to the relevant page, section, or spreadsheet cell in the source viewer, making answers easier to check against their origin than uncited summaries.

Batch workflows cover data extraction, per-document questions and summaries, reference audits, Humanizer rewrites, and SEO metadata. That range is useful for repeatable work across document sets, rather than only one-off PDF questions. Outputs can include PDFs, spreadsheets, charts, diagrams, and ZIPs.

Automatic OCR supports scanned pages in 40+ languages. Supported inputs include PDF, Word, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, Excel, Markdown, plain text, HTML, and web pages by URL. Multiple PDFs can be used in a chat. Standalone image, audio, and video uploads are unsupported, so media-heavy workflows need another tool.

Paid plans can import selected references from Zotero or Mendeley. Google Drive and OneDrive connectors are unavailable, a meaningful gap for teams whose source libraries live in those services. The API supports programmatic document upload, management, and interaction, but requires a paid plan.

The company says customer documents are not used to train models, and data is encrypted in transit with TLS and at rest with AES-256. Documents remain until deleted by the user or the account is closed; account data is deleted within 30 days of account closure. Plan-dependent limits range from 20 MB to 500 MB maximum document size and 100 MB to 50 GB storage per seat. The listed maximum file size is 50 MB, so check the applicable plan allowance against your actual files.

Pricing

Community is free and includes document analysis, chat, notes, and monthly credits, but monthly upload limits and no API access make it a constrained starting point rather than a full automation tier. There is no free trial.

Basic costs $8 a month, billed US$ 8 per month, and includes 100 credits/month, 3 workspaces, 50 labels each, sharing, notes, chatbot, OCR, Lab models, BYOK, and API access. It is the lowest paid tier for users who need the API or those tools but can work within its credit and workspace caps.

Pro costs $16 a month, billed US$ 16 per month, with 200 credits/month, unlimited workspaces and labels, and the same listed feature set as Basic. It suits users who need room to organize more projects, though its credit allowance is only twice Basic's.

Team is $18 per seat per month, billed US$ 18 / seat / month, with a 3-seat minimum, 600 credits/month per seat, shared workspaces, and real-time collaboration. It is aimed at groups that need shared work rather than an individual buyer; the seat minimum makes it a more substantial commitment than the per-seat price alone suggests.

Pro Plus costs $30 a month, billed US$ 30 per month, and includes 800 credits/month, Apex models, the maximum upload allowance, and all Pro features. It fits an individual needing higher capacity and those models, but costs more than Pro without describing an unlimited credit allowance.

Enterprise costs $32 per seat per month, billed US$ 32 / seat / month, with a 5-seat minimum, 600 credits/month per seat, Apex models, tailored AI agents and automation, a designated support manager, and SAML sign-on. It is the team option for organizations needing those controls and support; its minimum is five seats. No annual term is stated for these monthly prices.

Platforms

docAnalyzer is available on the web, and its API is available on paid plans. That favors browser-based and programmatic workflows, not users seeking a dedicated mobile or desktop app.

Who it's for

The product is positioned for expert practitioners, with an audience ranging from PhD students to public-sector ministries. Individual researchers can benefit from cited answers and scanned-document OCR; teams can use shared workspaces and collaboration on Team, while organizations that need SAML sign-on, tailored automation, or a support manager have an Enterprise tier. It is less suitable when cloud-drive connectors, standalone media uploads, or generous free use are essential.

Verdict

Choose docAnalyzer if your work centers on document collections and you value answers linked to exact source locations, OCR, and batch outputs in one web workspace. Its paid tiers provide a clear route from individual API use to collaboration and enterprise controls. Look elsewhere if cloud-drive connectors, standalone media uploads, or desktop and mobile apps are central to your workflow.
