OpenWhat matters in a comparison
Processing route. Know whether the tool runs in the browser, on a desktop app, or on remote infrastructure.
Real limits. File size, browser memory, account limits, and batch behavior matter more than generic speed claims.
Policy fit. Regulated documents still need organizational review, even when a tool avoids unnecessary uploads.
