Decision brief

Unstract is a Python-driven tool for transforming unstructured data into structured formats using OCR, PDF extraction, and other techniques to integrate with APIs and ETL workflows under AGPL-3.0 license.

Good fit when

  • You prioritize open-source contributions and require the flexibility of the AGPL-3.0 license.
  • Your project involves complex, generative AI tasks like JSON extraction from unstructured documents.

Avoid when

  • Your workflow strictly adheres to closed-source software management policies and requires proprietary control.
  • Projects needing direct integration with commercial data processing services incompatible with AGPL-3.0 licensing.
