Docubix is an API for cited document chat, and its caps are tight. Free allows 20 documents and 100 queries a month, enough for a prototype. Pro is $79 per month for 3,000 queries with no higher tier published, there is no middle plan between $0 and $79, and only PDF, DOCX, TXT and Markdown are supported.
ChatGPT is a general assistant that can work with uploaded files: free tier available and Plus at $20 per month per user, with usage limits that apply. Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) answers questions and builds summaries grounded in your own sources; it has a free tier and its starting price is not stated. Both are apps you use directly, and neither is described as a REST API you can embed in your own product, so they suit personal or internal use rather than shipping an AI feature to customers.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
