Sensible vs. Extend: Key Differences

Both platforms extract structured data from documents, but Sensible is built for enterprises that need control, transparency, and guaranteed accuracy at scale. While Extend emphasizes pure AI and rapid deployment, Sensible combines configurable layout-based rules with LLMs, giving you the flexibility of AI with the predictability and auditability of deterministic methods. With hands-on support options and industry-specific expertise, Sensible ensures you can trust every extraction and scale without the engineering burden.

Extend
Why it matters
Hybrid Approach & Control
Configurable layout rules + LLM with SenseML for granular control
Pure AI/LLM black-box with limited customization options
Combines AI flexibility with transparent, auditable rules you can customize, debug, and control—critical for regulated industries and mission-critical workflows
Services & Support
Full white-glove service: config building, deployment, ongoing maintenance
Developer-focused self-serve platform with standard support tiers
Expert team handles configuration, deployment, and maintenance so you can focus on your core business instead of managing extraction infrastructure
Deterministic Results
Layout-based extraction produces identical results for identical inputs
AI models can produce varying outputs on the same document
Predictable, repeatable results every time—same input always produces same output, critical for production systems and audit trails
Industry-Specific Expertise
Pre-built configs: ACORD forms, loss runs, CMS-1500, 1003s, rent rolls
General-purpose extraction without vertical specialization
Deep domain expertise with battle-tested configurations for industry-specific documents—not generic one-size-fits-all extraction
Edge Case Handling
Battle-tested: 1,000+ page docs, deeply nested structures, complex tables
Newer platform, still building track record with extreme edge cases
Years of production experience handling the most challenging documents—from 1,000+ page utility bills to deeply nested financial statements
Human Review Workflows
Native validation UI with confidence scoring and exception routing
HITL capabilities available through additional configuration
Seamlessly integrate human validation for mission-critical extractions with review workflows built directly into the platform
Advanced Data Processing
Post-processing engine + auto-classification: transformations, validations, routing
Raw extraction output, separate classification API
Advanced transformations, validations, data cleaning, and automatic document classification produce clean, normalized output ready for your systems
Time to Value
Days with pre-built configs and expert implementation support
Quick initial setup but may need multiple iterations to reach accuracy targets
Pre-built industry configurations and expert setup get you extracting accurately from day one with minimal iteration required
Companies of all sizes trust Sensible to extract their most important documents
