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
Complex setup with multiple APIs, post-processing for custom fields, and higher per-page costs
Validations
Built-in data validations ensure extracted fields follow consistent business and fiscal rules (e.g., date formats, tax totals, field dependencies), reducing manual review
Returns field-level confidence scores only and does not apply validations
Classifier & Splitter
Automatically detects document types and splits multi-document files
Not supported natively
Async Flow
Plug-and-play asynchronous API with direct webhook integration
Not a pure API and requires S3 + SNS/SQS setup
Setup Time
A true API-first setup — with a single endpoint and webhook, you’re fully operational in a matter of hours
Complex AWS configuration
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 and leaves validation and storage up to you.
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)
