Which is cheaper, GPT or GOT-OCR 2.0?

GOT-OCR 2.0. GPT is 11 credits / page and GOT-OCR 2.0 is 1 credit / page.

Which is more accurate?

It depends on the document. GPT is strongest at messy scans, custom instructions, and GOT-OCR 2.0 at formatted text, formulas and charts. Run a few of your own files through both and compare the output.

Yes. Put one as model and the other in fallbacks. If the first fails, the second reads the page, and you pay only for the one that answered.
