Formula (LlamaParse pricing docs): $1.25 per 1,000 credits. Parse v2 credits per page — Fast 1 (spatial text only, no markdown), Cost-effective 3, Agentic 10, Agentic Plus 45; layout extraction +3 per page on any tier; enriched forms (beta) +10 per page containing a form (not on Fast). Spreadsheets 1 credit per sheet, audio 3 per minute (not modeled). Extract v2 = extract tier + parse tier: Cost-effective 5 + 3 = 8, Agentic 15 + 10 = 25, Agentic Plus 50 + 10 = 60; files already parsed (or text) pay only the extract tier. Turbo extract is 35 all-in; Split 4, Classify 1–2 (not modeled). Index: exported page 2, retrieval query 1, chat turn 100; retained storage 100 credits per GB per day (not modeled). Plans: Free 10K credits / mo · Starter $50 with 40K credits, pay-as-you-go up to $500 / mo · Pro $500 with 400K credits, PAYG up to $5,000 / mo · Enterprise custom. Re-parsing the same file within 48 h is cached and free.

At $1.25 per 1,000 credits that is $1.25, $3.75, $12.50 and $56.25 per 1,000 pages. Extract v2 defaults are 8, 25 and 60 credits per page including parsing.
- Which LlamaParse plan should I pick?
- Free gives 10,000 credits a month. Starter is $50 with 40,000 credits and pay-as-you-go up to $500 a month; Pro is $500 with 400,000 credits and PAYG up to $5,000. Starter plus overage is usually cheaper until roughly 400,000 credits a month, when Pro's included credits win. Re-parsing a cached file within 48 hours is free.
