In short: Tiro is an Airparser alternative from Germany: upload PDFs and scans, the AI proposes the fields, and the result comes back as an Excel, CSV or JSON table. Billing is in euros, AI processing stays inside the EU, and documents may be kept for up to a year; a per-inbox email intake is something both offer by now. And honestly: a ready-made Zapier app is something Airparser has today – Tiro reaches Zapier and Make only through its webhooks so far, and per page Airparser is cheaper in the middle tiers.
Pricing compared (as of August 2026)
Both services bill in credits that expire at the end of the period – at Airparser 1 credit is a PDF page, email, image or HTML document, at Tiro it is a page. The big difference sits above the price list: Airparser bills exclusively in US dollars, Tiro in euros.
| Volume per month | Airparser (USD) | Tiro (EUR) |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | $0 (Trial) | €0 (Free) |
| 50 | – | €25, yearly €19 (Nano) |
| 100 | $39, yearly $33 (Starter) | €49, yearly €39 (Micro) |
| 300 | – | €89, yearly €69 (Mini) |
| 500 | $59, yearly $49 (Growth) | – |
| 1,000 | – | €129, yearly €99 (Standard) |
| 2,000 | $179, yearly $149 (Business) | – |
| 3,000 | – | €269, yearly €199 (Plus) |
| 5,000 | $299, yearly $249 (Premium) | – |
Read honestly, this means: below 100 pages Tiro is cheaper, from the middle tier up Airparser usually wins on pure price per page. If you decide on price per page alone and process large volumes, this page will not make you switch – the reasons for Tiro follow below.
Where Tiro wins
- Euros instead of US dollars. The price is fixed in your currency and the invoice comes from Germany. With USD billing the amount moves with the exchange rate, and depending on your card, foreign transaction fees come on top.
- AI processing inside the EU. According to its own subprocessor list (checked August 2026), Airparser has the AI work done by OpenAI and Anthropic in the United States – with a DPA, standard contractual clauses and no-training commitments, but your document contents do travel to a third country. Tiro calls Anthropic models through AWS Bedrock in the EU inference profile (Frankfurt); documents never leave the EU. An interesting detail: Airparser's compute runs on Hetzner servers in Germany, just like Tiro's – the difference lies in the AI calls and storage services.
- Retention on your terms. Airparser's entry plan deletes after 30 days; the maximum is 180 days on the largest plan. Every paid Tiro plan may keep documents for up to a year – configurable per inbox, down to "delete right after export". For documents with evidence obligations, that is the practical difference.
- Native-language product. Interface, legal texts and the downloadable DPA are written in German and English rather than machine-translated – the paperwork for your privacy review sits on the security page.
Where Airparser does more today – honestly
- More intake formats: besides PDFs, images and emails, Airparser also reads HTML documents. Tiro currently processes PDFs, images and emails (mail text + attachments) – via upload, REST API or the inbox's email address; further formats are planned.
- Integrations: Ready-made apps for Zapier, Make and others ship with every Airparser plan. Tiro offers webhooks (signed, retried for a day) and the REST API in every plan – so “Webhooks by Zapier” and the HTTP triggers of Make and n8n work today; its own directory apps are on the roadmap.
- Price per page at volume: from the Growth tier (500 credits for $49 yearly) Airparser is usually cheaper per page, and above 5,000 credits there are high-volume plans on request. Tiro's ladder currently ends at 3,000 pages.
- Teams: unlimited team members from the Business plan up.
If your workflow depends on Zapier automation or very large volumes today, Airparser is (still) the better choice for you. This page stays honest even where that hurts.
Who should switch now
Tiro fits if you process PDFs, scans or photos and use the result as an Excel or CSV table – invoices, delivery notes, bank statements, test reports and other document types. Especially when your privacy review requires AI processing inside the EU, you need a euro invoice, documents must stay available longer than 180 days, or your volume sits between 20 and 3,000 pages.
