Check before buying: EU data residency, SAML single sign-on and on-premises deployment are only part of the Enterprise plan, so check which plan meets your data protection needs. Usage pricing depends on the number of blocks per invoice, so estimate volume before committing. For German invoices, confirm support for XRechnung and ZUGFeRD and whether a DATEV export fits your process, as neither appears on the product pages.

Check before buying: Clarify how Rossum will be developed and sold under Coupa if you do not use Coupa, since the acquisition in May 2026 is recent. Check which plan includes your ERP connector, SSO and the choice of hosting location, and confirm the page or document volume behind the quote. Request the SOC 2 Type II report through the trust center and review whether your data may be used to improve Aurora. The security page says its AI governance under ISO/IEC 42001 is aligned with the EU AI Act but gives no risk classification.

• Autopilot generates test cases, analyzes requirements and creates synthetic test data

Compared with Parashift

• Has a free plan; Parashift does not.
• Targets companies under 50 employees, which Parashift does not.
• Different pricing model: freemium instead of contact for pricing.
• Names fewer security certificates: 2, Parashift 4.

Check before buying: Clarify which plan covers the agents and document processing you need, since both are part of Standard and Enterprise, not Basic. Ask for the list of cloud regions and the data processing agreement if EU data is involved. Plan for human review of consequential agent actions, especially where robots or agents process employee or customer data.

Compared with Parashift

• Offers a free trial; we found none for Parashift.
• Targets companies under 50 employees, which Parashift does not.
• Different pricing model: usage-based instead of contact for pricing.

Check before buying: Estimate your monthly pages and the credit cost per model, since features such as confidence scores raise the credit use per page.

Check before buying: Clarify in which region your images will be processed, since the terms name Amazon Web Services servers in both the EU and the US. The terms contain data processor clauses under the GDPR and name Amazon Web Services as the current subprocessor; check whether they cover your use case or whether you need a separate agreement. Ask for volume-based pricing and test accuracy on your own photo stock before connecting the API to live listings.
