Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 7 of the 49 other AI research tools we grade
Docalysis is a web app where you upload a document and ask questions about it in a chat. It reads PDF, TXT, CSV and DOCX files, can chat with a whole folder of files at once, and offers embed code, an API and batch processing for teams with many documents. Use is metered in monthly question credits and page uploads.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Docalysis, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Upload a file and ask: nothing to set up.

The report card
Best for asking questions of a PDF, Word, CSV or text file
Docalysis lets you upload a PDF, Word, text or CSV file and ask it questions. The free plan has 50 question credits a month and a 5 MB file limit, and files are kept indefinitely on Amazon S3 unless you ask for a retention policy.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $14 a month billed monthly for Plus, $35 for Ultimate. Plus is above the research dearer-quarter line of $12.50, though below the dearest tenth at $20. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan with 50 question credits and 600 uploaded pages a month, and files up to 5 MB and 150 pages. You'll hit that on a few long papers. |
| Features | C | Chat with one file or many, share and embed. The listing only supports PDF, TXT, CSV and DOCX and has no app, and batch work is arranged by hand. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record. Upload a file and ask: nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations or apps listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Docalysis is for
- Fits if you want quick answers out of a long PDF
- Works for someone who occasionally asks questions of a handful of files
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 50 question credits a month and files up to 5 MB
- Skip it if your files are slides or other formats, as only PDF, TXT, CSV and DOCX are listed
- Watch out: documents are kept indefinitely on Amazon S3 until you delete them
- Watch out: batch processing and the Business plan have no published price
- Pricey if you want bigger files, which means Plus at $14 a month
Good to know
Good for
- Analysts, lawyers and accountants who need answers from long documents
- People who want a free way to try document chat on small files
- Teams with large document backlogs that can use batch processing or the API

- The free plan caps files at 5 MB and 150 pages and allows 50 chat messages a month.
- Documents are kept indefinitely by default and stored on Amazon S3 until you delete them; a specific retention policy has to be requested.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Docalysis you would be making an AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 31 of the 49 other AI research tools grade higher. It costs $168 a year.
What you could make
- Documents: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
- An API that other software can build on.
What this rests on. Docalysis’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
