When Docsumo is the better fit

  • You process a steady monthly volume and want a quoted plan with set-up help.
  • You need SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA from day one. Yellowjacket has no certifications.
  • You want a free trial with real pages before you pay anything.

When Yellowjacket is the better fit

  • You don't want a subscription, a setup fee or a notice period: credit is bought when you need it and unused credit doesn't expire.
  • You want each job priced before it runs, next to what Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini would each charge alone.
  • The same credit should cover contracts, statements, receipts, questions about your data and the API.
