AskYourPDF: ~226k visits/mo · declining (down from ~1.2M) · Claude, GPT, or Gemini (selectable)

AskYourPDF offers a model selector that includes Claude, plus an API and a ChatGPT plugin. Its localization is partial — hreflang tags are present but page bodies are largely untranslated — and billing complaints are reported. pdf.chat is Claude-native with exact-span citations on Pro, ships fully (coverage-gated) localized pages rather than thin hreflang, and runs a transparent free tier.

If you want grounded, verifiable answers, yes. pdf.chat is built around Claude-native, page-cited answers, free OCR for scanned files, and a genuine free tier — the areas where users most often look past AskYourPDF.

AskYourPDF lets you select Claude among other models, but its citations stay page-level. pdf.chat is Claude-native and adds exact-span citations on Pro via the Anthropic Citations API, so every sentence links to the precise source text.

AskYourPDF publishes hreflang tags but leaves much of the page body in English. pdf.chat gates each language at 90% real coverage before exposing it, so localized pages are actually localized.

Both cite sources, but AskYourPDF stops at page-level. pdf.chat matches that on its free tier and goes further on Pro with exact-span citations you can click to highlight the source text — the verification bar for legal, research, and financial work.

pdf.chat has a real free tier with no signup and no $1-to-$19.99 trial trap, and cancellation is one click online. Compare current prices on AskYourPDF's own site — they change often — but the free tier means you can try pdf.chat at no cost first.

Yes — there is nothing to migrate. Upload the same PDFs to pdf.chat and start asking. Your AskYourPDF account is unaffected, so you can run both side by side and compare the answers before you decide.
