Llamaparse
Declarative framework for querying, controlling, and automating AI model behavior.
A strong, credit-priced document parser for RAG pipelines; generous free tier, with cost scaling by document complexity.
A commercial document-parsing service from LlamaIndex that turns complex PDFs and Office files into clean, AI-ready data (Markdown/JSON) for RAG - not a query framework.
It is one of the better parsers for messy, real-world documents: tables, charts, images and 130+ file types, with tiered modes from fast to agentic for harder layouts. It is credit-based and not open source, but the 10,000 free credits a month make it easy to start, and caching plus tier choice keep costs in check.
