Extraction Pricing
Per-page pricing based on extraction mode. All modes include OCR, parsing, schema enforcement, and structured JSON output. For files other than PDFs, see what counts as a page.
| Mode | Full Service | BYOK | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fast | 10 credits / page | 2 credits / page | Quick results, latency-sensitive |
| Standard | 40 credits / page | 5 credits / page | General use, best accuracy/cost |
| Robust | 80 credits / page | 10 credits / page | High-stakes, verification |
1000 credits = $1.00 USD · standard ~$0.04/page. Credits never expire.
To-Markdown Pricing
Flat per-page pricing for document-to-markdown conversion (/v1/to-markdown). The platform auto-selects the parsing strategy — clean PDFs are parsed without an LLM, scanned pages and images use OCR.
| Service | Full Service | BYOK | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| To-markdown | 4 credits / page | 2 credits / page | Clean markdown from any document |
Billed per page at the same rate for every file type; see what counts as a page. 1000 credits = $1.00 USD · ~$0.004/page.
What counts as a page
Extraction and to-markdown are billed per page, and free pages are counted the same way. A PDF is billed by its pages. Other files are turned into pages by the rules below. Every document is at least 1 page.
| File | Pages |
|---|---|
| Its number of pages | |
| Images PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP | 1 page per image |
| Word DOCX, DOC, ODT | 1 page per 500 words |
| Spreadsheets XLSX, CSV | 1 page per 50 rows, all sheets together |
| Text TXT, MD | 1 page per 3,000 characters |
| Email EML | 1 page for the email, plus its attachments |
Emails
An email costs what its attachments would cost if you uploaded them one by one, plus 1 page for the email itself. Each attachment is counted by its own rule above. For example, an email with a 2-page PDF attached is 3 pages: 30 credits in Fast mode.
- Small images in the email body, such as logos in a signature, are free.
- Attachments we don't read, such as ZIP files or calendar invites, are free.
- The attachments of a forwarded email are counted once.
AI Model Draft Pricing
Describe the data you need in your own words and get a draft data model with notes on what to review (/v1/models/draft, or Describe it in the web app). No document is involved, so it is billed per draft.
| Service | Full Service | BYOK | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model draft | 10 credits / draft | 3 credits / draft | Setting up a new document type without a sample file |
Each change you ask for is a new draft. While you have free pages left, a draft uses one free page instead of credits.
Training Pricing
Each training run is a flat fee. You provide the LLM key, we provide the infrastructure (orchestration, optimizer, artifact storage).
| Tier | Credits | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BYOK | 5000 credits flat per run | You provide the LLM key (OpenAI, Gemini, or Anthropic). We run the optimizer (Tiny or MIPRO) and produce a versioned artifact. |
| DSPy examples | 2500 credits flat per run | Download a runnable DSPy training bundle (your documents + labels + a self-contained train.py) to optimize a model yourself, locally. Charged once per run — re-downloads are free. Paid plans only. |
