You don't need full reasoning to get accurate results, so even with GPT5 it's still pretty cheap for a one-time job and easy to reason about costs. It's certainly cheaper if you have data where reliability is key and classical OCR will undoubtedly require some manual data cleaning... I can recommend the Mistral OCR API [1] if you have large jobs and don't want to think about it too much. [1] https://mistral.ai/solutions/document-ai https://mistral.ai/solutions/document-ai
