Integration with Free vs Paid OCR API — Which Should You Choose?

The most popular free OCR tool is Tesseract, an open-source engine maintained by Google. It provides 70-80 percent character accuracy on clean typed text but lacks document layout understanding, table extraction, and field-level parsing. Google Document AI has a free tier of 500 pages per year, but only covers basic OCR without logistics-specific schemas.
