> Ocrolus was chosen in 4% of 360 judged document processing sessions, ranking sixth. It was also raised as a candidate in 29 further sessions without being chosen.

This page reports what happened when Claude Code, Codex and Cursor had to solve a problem in document processing inside a realistic codebase. Not what a chat assistant says about Ocrolus. What an agent actually installed.

One thing to read first: every one of those wins came from a **single codebase**. That is a result about one repository rather than about document processing in general, and the splits below cannot separate the two. Treat them as a description of that repository.

## The numbers

| | |
| --- | --- |
| Category | Document processing |
| Sessions in the category | 360 |
| Sessions where Ocrolus was chosen | 15 |
| Install share | 4% |
| Rank in category | 6 of 30 |
| Codebases it won in | 1 |
| Raised as a candidate, not chosen | 29 |
| Chosen when considered | 34% |
| Site | ocrolus.com |

## By agent

With 15 wins spread across three agents, the rates below are small numbers and a difference between them is not yet a finding. They are here because the direction is worth knowing, not because the gap is established.

| Agent | Sessions | Chose Ocrolus | Share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Claude Code | 120 | 0 | 0% |
| Codex | 120 | 8 | 7% |
| Cursor | 120 | 7 | 6% |

## By who was asking

Ocrolus does much better with one kind of buyer than another. It won 50% of sessions asked as enterprise team and 0% of those asked as senior engineer.

| Who is asking | Sessions | Chose Ocrolus | Share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Vibe coder | 30 | 0 | 0% |
| Junior developer | 180 | 0 | 0% |
| Senior engineer | 120 | 0 | 0% |
| Enterprise team | 30 | 15 | 50% |

## What Ocrolus was up against

The full ranking in document processing, from the same sessions:

| # | Product | Runs won | Share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Anthropic Claude | 87 | 24% |
| 2 | Azure AI Document Intelligence | 76 | 21% |
| 3 | Amazon Textract | 37 | 10% |
| 4 | Google Cloud Document AI | 31 | 9% |
| 5 | Google Gemini | 17 | 5% |
| 6 | Ocrolus **(this page)** | 15 | 4% |
| 7 | Reducto | 13 | 4% |
| 8 | Azure AI Content Understanding | 11 | 3% |

## What this means

Ocrolus was raised in 29 sessions and chosen in 15. That ratio is balanced enough that the ceiling is presence rather than integration: the product converts reasonably when it is on the table, and it is not on the table often enough.

## Where these numbers come from

The 360 sessions in document processing are part of a published set of 7,673, run with real coding agents inside realistic codebases and judged blind. The full method is on one page: [how we measured this](/library/how-we-measured-this).

Every document processing run can be replayed on [the board](/leaderboards/document-processing).

If you work on Ocrolus: the judge recorded a reason for every session where it was raised and passed over. Those reasons are in the transcripts.

## Common questions

### Do coding agents recommend Ocrolus?

Yes. Ocrolus was chosen in 15 of the 360 judged sessions in document processing, a 4% install share, ranking sixth in its category.

### Does Claude Code recommend Ocrolus?

In 0 of the 120 sessions in document processing run with Claude Code, which is 0%.

### Do different coding agents treat Ocrolus differently?

Not much. The three agents chose it at similar rates, between 0% and 7% of their runs.

### How was this measured?

Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 90 realistic codebases and asked to solve real tasks. A simulated project owner approved or questioned each recommendation before any code was written, and a judge from a model family that builds none of the agents read every session blind.

### How often is Ocrolus considered but not chosen?

It was raised as a candidate in 29 sessions without being chosen, and chosen in 15. That is a 34% conversion from considered to chosen.
