Nanonets pros and cons

Proprietary OCR-3 model ranks highly on public IDP extraction benchmarks
Usage-based pricing means no seat licenses or platform fees
Free tier with $50 credits and no card required to start
Strong enterprise controls: SSO/SCIM, RBAC, audit logs, on-prem/VPC deployment
Per-block usage pricing can be hard to predict at scale
Key features (classification, ERP connectors, compliance) are gated to paid tiers
Growth and Enterprise pricing is quote-only, not published

Marker pros and cons

Handles many input formats (PDF, images, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, EPUB) and outputs Markdown, JSON, HTML, or chunks sized for RAG
Preserves structure: tables, equations as LaTeX, code blocks, reading order, and image extraction, with headers/footers removed
Selective OCR keeps it fast by only invoking the vision model on bad or scanned pages, with a CPU-only no-OCR path available
Optional --use_llm hybrid mode works with Gemini, Claude, OpenAI-compatible, Azure, Vertex, OpenRouter, or local Ollama models
Model weights are not freely commercial: a modified OpenRAIL-M license caps free use at under $5M funding/revenue and requires paid licensing above that
Best accuracy needs a GPU plus a local inference server (vLLM via Docker, or llama.cpp on CPU/Apple Silicon), adding setup
Very complex layouts with nested tables and forms may still convert poorly
