StackExtract vs CapyParse

CapyParse converts financial PDFs and prices by page, with a free allowance to start. StackExtract prices by document — one uploaded PDF is one document whatever its page count. The table below covers only what we have checked against CapyParse's own site: each row links the page it was read from, and the date it was checked is shown with it.

Side-by-side

FeatureStackExtractCapyParse
One document per PDF, whatever its page count(CapyParse prices by page: $29 a month for 150 pages or $79 a month for 600. Billed annually, the same plans are $290 and $790 a year, about $24 and $66 a month. Prices checked November 2026. StackExtract counts one uploaded PDF as one document, so page count does not affect what it costs.)source
Free allowance before paying(CapyParse's free plan gives 10 pages with no expiry and no credit card. StackExtract gives three preview credits that never reset — they cover the preview, and export is paid.)source
Excel and CSV exportsource
QuickBooks-ready export(CapyParse exports a QBO (Web Connect) file for QuickBooks. StackExtract's QuickBooks output is a CSV you download and import — it is not a QBO file.)source
Review the extraction against the original PDF(CapyParse shows flagged transactions side by side with the original page. StackExtract does not display the source document — its review step shows the extracted rows with confidence colouring and flags, and you check those against the statement yourself.)source
Batch export across documents(CapyParse's Firm plan lists batch scan and export across statements. StackExtract has no batch operations: several PDFs can be uploaded at once, but each stays its own document with its own export.)source

Comparison last checked

Two of these rows go against us, and they are the useful ones

CapyParse shows you the original page next to the extraction. StackExtract does not — the review screen shows the extracted rows, the confidence colouring and the flags, and you compare that against the statement on your own screen. If side-by-side review is how you work, that is a real reason to prefer CapyParse and it is not a gap we are about to close.

CapyParse's Firm plan also includes batch scan and export. StackExtract has no batch operations at all: you can drag in several PDFs and each becomes its own document processed independently, but there is no combined export and no view that edits several at once.

Both are listed because a comparison table that only reports wins is not a comparison, and because the two questions decide the tool for some people before price does.

Per page or per document

CapyParse's plans are 150 pages for $29 a month and 600 for $79 a month. Billed annually they are $290 and $790 a year, which works out at about $24 and $66 a month. Prices checked November 2026. StackExtract charges per document, and one PDF is one document whether it runs two pages or twenty.

So the comparison is not between $29 and any single figure of ours — it is between a page budget and a document budget, and which is better value is a fact about your statements rather than about either product. A month of two-page statements goes a long way on 150 pages; a month of twelve-page business statements does not.

CapyParse's 10 free pages and StackExtract's three preview credits are both there to answer this without paying. Run a real document through each before deciding.

What the review step is for

Extraction from a PDF is not exact, and the useful question about any converter is what it tells you when it is unsure rather than whether it claims to be right.

StackExtract puts a confidence score on every extracted value, colour-codes the cells, and marks rows that need review with an action to resolve them. Every document is checked against its own figures: reconciliation and duplicate detection on bank statements, line-item maths on invoices, and format checks on everything.

Where a statement prints no opening or closing balance there is nothing to reconcile against, and that is reported as a check that could not run rather than as a pass. Where a figure and a printed total disagree, nothing is adjusted — both are shown as printed and the row is flagged, because the statement is authoritative and correcting it silently would hide the disagreement rather than report it.

Frequently asked

+Is StackExtract affiliated with CapyParse?

No. StackExtract is independent and unaffiliated, and this page describes CapyParse only from what its own site states, with the page linked beside each row.

+How current is this comparison?

It was checked against CapyParse's site on 1 November 2026, and that date is shown on the page. Anything a competitor has changed since then will not be reflected until it is checked again.

+Can I see the original PDF next to the extracted rows in StackExtract?

No. StackExtract does not display the source document beside the result; you review the extracted rows, their confidence colouring and their flags against the statement yourself. CapyParse does offer that view, and it is listed in the table above.

+Can I export several documents as one file?

No. There are no batch operations in StackExtract. Several PDFs can be uploaded in one action and each becomes its own document with its own status and its own export.
