Lido

Lido is a freemium Automation & Workflows tool for web-based document extraction, helping finance, accounting, procurement, healthcare, logistics, and operations teams convert unstructured documents into spreadsheet-ready data. Its core positioning is template-free AI extraction: users upload PDFs, scans, photos, images, Word files, email attachments, invoices, receipts, bank statements, purchase orders, medical forms, bills of lading, contracts, tax forms, and similar business documents, then define the fields they want in plain language instead of drawing boxes or maintaining per-vendor templates. Lido says it can process handwritten, scanned, photographed, and multilingual documents when the text is human-readable, and the product emphasizes structured exports to Excel, Google Sheets, and CSV as well as validation and downstream workflow automation.

Several concrete facts make the positioning more verifiable. Lido offers 50 free pages with no credit card required, and the free pages are described as not expiring. Paid self-serve pricing starts with the Standard plan at $29 per month for 100 pages per month and 1 user. The Scale plan is listed at $7,000 per year for 42,000 pages per year, up to 10 users, API and workflow access, and priority email and chat support. The Enterprise pricing card lists custom page limits from $35,000 per year, with custom ERP integrations, a dedicated US-based account manager, and live US-based onboarding and support. Lido also states that it does not offer per-page overage billing on these plans, so buyers choose a tier rather than paying variable per-page charges. The pricing FAQ says files can be reset and reprocessed within the first 24 hours of upload at no extra page-credit cost, which is useful during setup when teams refine extraction instructions.

The product claims fast setup and measurable operational gains, but buyers should treat vendor-provided benchmarks as claims to validate with their own samples. Lido states that extraction generally returns spreadsheet data in seconds, that help documentation describes extraction as taking about 10 to 30 seconds per document, and that the homepage cites 1-hour implementation compared with 4 to 8 weeks for legacy OCR. It also claims 99%+ extraction accuracy on structured documents such as invoices and receipts, 90% manual work eliminated, 16,000 claims processed in five days in a customer example, 20+ hours saved per week in another customer example, roughly 400 weekly purchase orders processed automatically in a PO workflow example, and 85% AP team capacity freed in a testimonial. These are vendor-provided claims rather than independently verified benchmarks, so teams should test Lido against representative documents, review workflows, compliance needs, and integration requirements before production use.
