PDFTables alternative

The statement-specific PDFTables alternative

PDFTables is a well-built British service — Cantabular Ltd, registered in England and Wales, converting PDFs since 2014 and, by its own count, over half a billion pages so far — with official API example clients in nine languages, no surcharge for using the API, and an on-premises edition you can run on your own hardware.

If the PDFs you convert are bank statements, NoRekey is the narrower tool: every conversion reconciled against the statement's own opening and closing balances, exported as OFX and QFX as well as CSV, for about $0.03 a page scanned or not — where PDFTables charges $0.05 a text page and $0.10 a scanned one at entry pricing.

The difference that matters

PDFTables sells credits up front, NoRekey sells plans and packs — either way, what matters is what a page costs, and what comes back.

Entry pricing, per text-based page, dollars on both sides. PDFTables sells prepaid credits and charges one credit a page on its Standard extractor; scanned pages need an AI extractor at two credits a page.

When PDFTables is the better choice

We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong subscription. Choose PDFTables if:

→
You cannot send client data to a third-party cloud — PDFTables sells an on-premises Linux edition, and offers a Docker microservice deployment on request.
→
Statements are only part of the job — PDFTables extracts tables from any PDF, so invoices, balance sheets and delivery notes go through the same tool.
→
You want a ready-made client for your language — PDFTables publishes official example clients for nine languages, including VBA for Excel macros, C#, Java and Go, where NoRekey's docs show Python and Node.
