(open full size in a new tab)Our take: Reducto fits AI teams that need layout-faithful parsing and schema-based extraction of PDFs and 30+ file types at per-page API prices, with SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA BAA and on-prem options for regulated data.
Main limitation: Cost scales per page (e.g. $10 per 1,000 pages for r-1 Parse), and Growth and Enterprise rates are custom.

Reducto is a document-processing platform for AI teams. Its Parse product converts PDFs, images, spreadsheets, presentations and scanned documents into LLM-ready output while preserving layout and reading order; Extract returns structured JSON fields; Split divides documents into logical sections from natural-language instructions; and Edit fills and modifies PDF and DOCX files programmatically. Access is through a REST API with Python, Node.js and Go SDKs, an MCP server and CLI for agent workflows, and Studio, a visual web app for building and testing workflows. The source link for this entry was a September 2026 blog post announcing the r-1 parsing model, which the company says cuts error rates by 20% and prices at 1 cent per page. Reducto lists SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA support, zero data retention and on-prem deployment options.

Scenarios are worked out by our editors from the documentation; the actual result depends on your input and plan.
The r-1 model reads text, tables, figures and formatting in a single pass, preserves reading order, and cuts output into chunks that follow layout, with bounding-box citations. Gives LLMs clean context from complex documents.
You define a schema of fields; the API returns exactly those fields from the document, with citations back to source locations. Replaces custom regex or template parsing for invoices and forms.
You describe the sections you want in plain language and the service divides a multi-document file into those logical units. Removes manual pre-processing of bundled uploads.
Edit detects blanks, tables and checkboxes on scanned or digital forms and fills them from supplied data without templates or bounding boxes. Automates form completion.
