TL;DR
The short answer
Nanonets and DocsLoop both extract data from documents with AI, at very different price points.
Nanonets charges $0.30 per page for AI extraction, plus small fees for import, formatting and export steps.[1] In return you get an API, 25+ connectors and approval workflows.[1][10][9]
DocsLoop charges $0.033 to $0.063 per page in one-time packs. It does one job: PDF to Excel or CSV, with a review step before export.
Choose DocsLoop if
- You only need the data in Excel or CSV, not in an ERP.
- You want a flat price: 1 credit = 1 page, whatever the number of rows.
- You want to start without labelling sample files or building a workflow.
- You convert PDFs now and then, and you do not want a monthly plan.
Choose Nanonets if
- Data must flow into QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, SAP or Salesforce with no manual step.[10]
- Developers need an API. Nanonets includes it on the free Starter plan.[1]
- You need approval rules, lookups or classification inside the workflow.[9][1]
- You need SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, a HIPAA BAA or on-premises deployment.[2][1]

How much does Nanonets cost compared with DocsLoop?
At list price, Nanonets AI extraction alone costs $0.30 per page, about 5 to 9 times the DocsLoop price of $0.033 to $0.063 per page.[1] Nanonets then adds a fee for each other step a document runs through.
| Volume | DocsLoop | Nanonets |
|---|---|---|
| 300 pages, once | $19 one-time1 × Individual | $90 for extraction alone. The $50 free credit covers about 166 pages of it.[1] |
| 1,000 pages | $68 one-time1 × Individual + 1 × Small Team | $300 for extraction alone, plus import and export runs[1] |
| 3,000 pages | $99 one-time1 × Agency | $900 for extraction alone, plus import and export runs[1] |
| 10,000 pages | $365 one-time1 × Individual + 1 × Small Team + 3 × Agency | $3,000 for extraction alone. With the maximum 40% Growth discount: $1,800.[1] |
Nanonets says a typical invoice workflow runs 4 to 6 blocks and costs under $2 per document.[1]
Nanonets credits are prepaid and never expire. When they run out, Nanonets bills pay-as-you-go to your card.[1][3] DocsLoop packs are one-time payments with no subscription.
How does Nanonets per-block pricing work?
Nanonets charges for each step a document runs through. In its own words: total cost = number of runs × block price.[1]
The Nanonets price list has these parts:
- Simple steps such as formatting, routing and export: $0.02 per run.[1]
- Standard AI such as classification and validation: $0.10 per run.[1]
- Complex AI such as data extraction: $0.30 per run, counted per page.[1][3]
- Formatting counts each field or table row it changes, so 10 rows = 10 runs.[3]
- AI confidence scores are an add-on of 500 credits a month.[4]
- Nanonets staff review costs 1 credit per page, on Enterprise.[4]
How long does it take to set up Nanonets?
A pre-trained Nanonets model is quick to start. A custom Nanonets model needs at least 10 labelled sample files and a training run.[5]
Nanonets suggests 50 files for the best results, and each label needs at least 10 examples.[5] The Nanonets docs give two training times: 10 to 45 minutes in one place, 2 to 8 hours in another.[6] For full agent and ERP workflows, Nanonets says customers go live in weeks, not quarters.[2]
Reviewers on G2 mention a steep learning curve for advanced Nanonets workflows.[15]
DocsLoop custom templates need no training set. You upload one sample PDF, describe the fields in plain words, and review the result.
Is there a free Nanonets option?
Yes, if you can write code. Nanonets publishes open-source OCR models, such as Nanonets-OCR2-3B, on Hugging Face.[13]
Nanonets-OCR2 turns page images into Markdown, with HTML tables, checkboxes and signatures.[13] To build a PDF-to-Excel flow with it, you usually need a GPU and your own code. The hosted Nanonets platform uses a different model, OCR-3, which is not open source.[12]
DocsLoop is for people who want the spreadsheet without code or servers.
Does Nanonets connect to QuickBooks, Xero and ERPs?
Yes. Nanonets lists 25+ native connectors, including QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, SAP and Salesforce.[10] DocsLoop has no integrations yet.
On Nanonets, QuickBooks, Sage and Xero exports work on all plans. SAP, Salesforce and Oracle connectors are on Enterprise.[4][1] The Nanonets API is on the free Starter plan.[1]
Nanonets also has approval stages. Rules check each field, and a file that fails a rule goes to a person for review.[9]
DocsLoop exports Excel (XLSX) or CSV. Most accounting tools can import a CSV, but it is a manual step.
Which is better for compliance?
Nanonets. Nanonets is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, and it offers a HIPAA BAA on Enterprise plans.[2][11]
Nanonets Enterprise adds SAML SSO, data residency in the US, EU or APAC, and private cloud or on-premises deployment.[1]
DocsLoop has no security certification yet. Files travel over HTTPS and stay in private cloud storage for up to 14 days. To extract data, DocsLoop sends page content to AI model providers.
