Invofox vs. Amazon Textract: The Smarter Way to Parse Documents
Textract reads pages. Invofox understands documents and gives you ready-to-use, validated, structured data — all through one API, without the AWS complexity.
Trusted by 100+ companies to process millions of documents.
Why teams are switching from Amazon Textract to Invofox
Textract is a general-purpose OCR tool, but it’s not built for production-ready document automation. Invofox was designed for developers and operations teams that need accuracy, validation, and simplicity in one API call.
Capability
Invofox
Amazon Textract
Invoice & Receipt Parsing
Designed for financial and accounting documents — accurately extracts tax/VAT details, supplier and customer data, and required compliance fields, preserving multi-page and cross-document context automatically
Performs generic text and form extraction with a standardized output format. Identifies amounts and basic fields but lacks accounting or fiscal context, and doesn’t adapt to varied document layouts or tax formats
Custom Fields
One API, simple configuration, no extra calls or merging
Requires multiple APIs (Queries or Adapters) and client-side field mapping
Data Validation
Built-in data validations ensure extracted fields follow consistent business and fiscal rules (e.g., date formats, tax totals, field dependencies), reducing manual review and false positives
Returns field-level confidence scores only and does not apply validations
Classifier & Splitter
Automatically detects document types and splits multi-document files
Requires separate AWS services and model training
Async Flow
Cloud-agnostic asynchronous API with standard HTTP webhooks — easy to integrate across environments.
Requires AWS-native infrastructure (S3, SNS/SQS, IAM), creating dependency on the AWS ecosystem.
Setup Time
Stable throughput even under latency spikes, with no client-side retry amplification
Complex AWS configuration
Everything Textract offers — and everything it’s missing — all in one platform.

Everything Textract offers — and everything it’s missing — all in one platform.
Invofox simplifies what Textract complicates
Amazon Textract requires multiple services — S3 for storage, SNS/SQS for notifications, custom Lambda functions for validation, and extra models to classify or split documents.
Invofox replaces that entire pipeline with one API that handles extraction, validation, and storage automatically using simple HTTP endpoints and webhooks.
Invofox benchmarks real accuracy — Textract just estimates it
Textract provides OCR confidence scores.
Invofox measures accuracy against labeled ground truth, minimizes false positives through built-in validation, and stores every document and extraction result for full traceability so you can trust every data point returned.
Built-in validation at the document level
Continuous model improvement with real-world data
Persistent storage and audit trails (SOC 2 & ISO certified)
