The problem

Stop copy-pasting.
Start shipping.

Your team retypes the same invoice numbers, order lines and customer details every day. It's slow, it's error-prone, and it's nobody's real job.

  • ~6 minutes per document of opening, reading and retyping.
  • 1 typo in every ~100 fields — and it's always the total.
  • Template parsers break the moment a supplier changes their layout.

Hi there,

We're moving Brightlane Studio (14 people) to a new office on April 2nd and need a quote for packing and moving. Budget is around $4,500.

It's fairly urgent — can someone call me at +1 503 555 0142?

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can't find it here? Email hello@docsift.com and a human replies within a day.

What counts as a page?
One page of a PDF or image, or one email body, uses one credit. A 3-page invoice uses 3 credits. Attachments on an email are counted by their pages.
Do I need to build templates?
No. You list the fields you want and describe them in plain English. Docsift's AI finds them on any layout — including ones it has never seen before.
Can it read scans, phone photos and handwriting?
Yes. Every page goes through OCR first, so skewed scans, faxes, photos and clear handwriting all work. Very low-quality images are flagged for review rather than guessed.
How do documents get into Docsift?
Forward emails to your private Docsift address, upload in the app, send them via the REST API, or connect Zapier, Make, n8n, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive.
Where can I send the extracted data?
Download CSV, Excel or JSON, sync to Google Sheets, push to any URL with webhooks, or connect to 6,000+ apps through Zapier, Make, n8n and Power Automate.
What happens when a supplier changes their layout?
Nothing — there's no template to break. Docsift reads each document fresh, so new layouts, vendors and formats work the moment they arrive.
Do I need a developer?
No. Inboxes, fields, exports and integrations are all point-and-click. The API and webhooks are there when your developers want them.
How accurate is it?
On typed documents most fields come back correct first time. Every value has a confidence score; anything below your threshold goes to a review queue instead of your systems.
Is my data secure? Do you train on it?
Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, retention is up to you, and your data is never used to train AI models or shared with anyone.
What if I go over my monthly pages?
Nothing breaks. We'll email you at 80% and 100%, and you can upgrade in one click. Documents over the limit wait in a queue until you do.
Do I need a credit card? Can I cancel anytime?
No card is needed for the Free plan or the 14-day trial. Paid plans are month-to-month or yearly with no lock-in — upgrade, downgrade or cancel in one click.
