UiPath Alternative

UiPath Document Understanding Alternative

Already using UiPath? DocXtract complements your RPA bots with superior document extraction. Or use it standalone—works with any automation platform.

Why Teams Struggle

Complex Setup

UiPath DU requires ML skills, training data, and weeks of configuration before processing your first document.

Limited Indian Support

Pre-built models don't handle Indian invoices, GST formats, or regional ID documents well out of the box.

Platform Lock-in

UiPath DU only works within UiPath ecosystem. Switching RPA platforms means rebuilding extraction.
