Docusplit vs iLovePDF: AI splitting compared

iLovePDF is a broad PDF toolbox that has also split by content with AI since May 2026. Docusplit covers only that step, needs no category or prompt, and adds a CSV overview to the ZIP.

In short

Both tools use AI to find where one document ends and the next begins. In iLovePDF you pick a document category and a split preset, or write a prompt, and Smart mode sits in the Premium plan. In Docusplit you pick invoice or document mode, the AI reads image-only scans directly, and invoice number, company and date go into the filename and a CSV. If you mostly merge, compress and convert, iLovePDF is the better home; if scanned batches need splitting and naming every week, Docusplit charges you for exactly that step.

Docusplit vs iLovePDF: common questions

Does Docusplit replace iLovePDF?
No. iLovePDF is a toolbox for nearly everything PDF. This tool does one step only, splitting a combined PDF into documents and naming each file by content. If you process scanner batches regularly, compare the two for that step; for merging, compressing or converting, iLovePDF stays.
Can Docusplit merge PDFs like iLovePDF?
No. It only splits. For merging, compressing or converting, use iLovePDF or a similar toolkit.
Which tool is better for invoice batches?
Both split invoice batches with AI. The AI at Docusplit reads invoice number, company and date and names the file INV-2024-281_Acme-Corp.pdf, keeping continuation pages with their invoice. iLovePDF's Smart mode offers presets such as by invoice number or by vendor and, according to its announcement, names the output after the chosen criterion. The differences sit around the split. At Docusplit there is no category to pick, a CSV overview with a confidence value comes along, and 30 pages are free to try; at iLovePDF you need a Premium plan.
Is Docusplit more expensive than iLovePDF?
It depends on what you use. iLovePDF Premium is €9/month or €60/year for all tools, with Smart mode listed at 200 pages via AI credits. The Starter plan here is €9.99/month for 100 pages, Pro €29.99 for 300 pages. If you mostly merge and convert and split a batch occasionally, iLovePDF is cheaper. If a scanned batch needs splitting and naming every week and you want the CSV to check results, you pay Docusplit for exactly that step.
Where are my files processed?
At Docusplit, files are transferred over TLS, kept only while processing and then deleted from our servers. AI analysis runs through the OpenAI API (data processing agreement with OpenAI Ireland, Standard Contractual Clauses, never used for training; OpenAI retains API data for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring). See our privacy policy. iLovePDF is based in Barcelona, is ISO 27001 certified, states that uploads are deleted after two hours, and lets Premium users choose the processing region.
