What it really isDocalysis — AI-powered PDF and document chat platform for natural-language Q&A.
Our takeDocalysis lets users upload PDFs, TXTs, and CSVs and ask questions in plain language, returning sourced answers instantly.
Docalysis is an AI document Q&A tool. Pricing is correctly freemium: a functional free tier exists alongside Plus ($14/mo) and Ultimate ($35/mo) paid plans.
Why we rate itClean multi-file chat UX, no credit card required for free tier, and a developer API make Docalysis one of the more versatile document-chat tools at its price point.
The catchHard monthly question and page-upload caps on all non-Business plans feel restrictive for power users as competitors move toward unlimited models; also lacks vision/image analysis for chart-heavy PDFs.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: no credit card required to start; upload a PDF and get answers within minutes of signup.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Monthly credit caps on Plus and Ultimate plans become a ceiling for teams with heavy document throughput; Business pricing requires contacting sales.
  3. Walled garden
    Low: documents are user-controlled and deletable; API and embed options allow data to flow into external systems.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Docalysis offer a free plan?

Yes. Docalysis includes a permanent free tier with a monthly allowance of page uploads and question credits, so you can try the core PDF chat feature without entering payment details.

What types of files does Docalysis support?

Docalysis is focused on PDF files. Each plan has its own file size limit and per-file page cap, so very large or high-page-count PDFs may require a higher-tier subscription.

Can I use Docalysis in my own product or website?

Yes. Docalysis offers an Embed product that lets you add AI PDF chat as a widget to your own site or application, as well as a REST API for deeper programmatic integrations.

How does Docalysis handle document privacy and security?

Docalysis allows users to delete their uploaded files at any time, giving you control over what stays on the platform. The service emphasizes secure file handling as a core part of its design.

Is Docalysis suitable for teams or just individuals?

Both. Individual plans (free through Ultimate) cover solo use cases with increasing limits. The Business plan adds team administration features and custom quotas, with dedicated phone support for organizational deployments.
