Pricing
Parse4ai uses a unified Credits-based metering system to measure the cost of all parsing workloads.
Credits can be obtained through the Free tier or by purchasing a paid plan.
Different document types and parsing complexities consume different amounts of Credits.
The system automatically estimates consumption before processing. The table below serves as a reference (actual usage is calculated dynamically).
📘 Credits System Overview
📄 Typical Parsing Tasks & Estimated Credit Usage
| Parsing Type | Description | Estimated Usage (credits/page) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Text Parsing | Standard PDFs/Docx without complex layout | 0.5 – 1 credit/page |
| Structural Parsing | TOC extraction, headings, layout structure | 1 – 2 credits/page |
| High-Accuracy OCR | Scanned PDFs, noisy images, handwriting | 2 – 5 credits/page |
| Complex Layout Parsing | Multi-column text, mixed media, special characters | 3 – 6 credits/page |
| Table Extraction | Table detection + cell reconstruction | 4 – 8 credits/page |
| Image Parsing | JPEG/PNG OCR or content recognition | 1 – 4 credits/image |
| Chart Extraction | Line charts, bar charts, pie charts | 5 – 10 credits/chart |
Note: Actual usage is determined by real-time system evaluation. The above table is for estimation only.
