TextRazor review
A developer-focused NLP API with broad extractors, language detection and a self-hosted option.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
TextRazor is a natural language processing API for developers who want to add text analytics to applications. It analyzes submitted text or fetches text from a publicly accessible URL, returning information such as entities, topics, categories, relations, sentences and language. Its tools are aimed at API users who need classification, entity disambiguation and linking, or language detection rather than a standalone analytics workspace.
The feature set reaches beyond basic entity extraction. TextRazor can classify text into taxonomies and custom categories, tag topics, extract relations, and apply custom entity dictionaries and text-processing rules. It automatically detects 142 languages. Developers can select analysis extractors and connect through a REST API or official Python, Java and PHP SDKs. Cloud and self-hosted deployment options provide a choice between using the service remotely and deploying it within an environment the user manages.
According to the vendor's pricing page, Free includes all analysis functionality; Starter costs $200 per month, Growth $600 per month and Pro $1,200 per month, each also listing all analysis functionality. The published plans include daily request and concurrency quotas, so buyers should compare those limits with expected usage rather than assume the paid tiers add distinct analysis features. Custom plans are available for enterprise needs. TextRazor is a fit for teams comfortable integrating an API and choosing their deployment approach; those seeking a ready-to-use interface or a lower-cost paid entry point may prefer another option. Email and documentation are listed support channels.
