Semi related: I would love to see someone do a comparison of the various OCR APIs on speed, accuracy, and cost.

Same here. Was just researching on this. Not sure if I should go with an open source OCR engine or one of these APIs

Doing it yourself with Tesseract is pretty hard (time consuming, error prone). It's something I would only consider doing once my project was build, viable, and the costs of an API were an issue.
