Document Parsing API Cost Comparison

$ per 1,000 pages by tier / endpoint (list rates)

Mixed-document sample (plan fees and free allowances applied where relevant)

Assumptions: LlamaParse at $1.25 per 1,000 credits; the per-tier table uses the pure credit rate, the mixed sample picks the cheapest of Free / Starter $50 (40K credits) / Pro $500 (400K credits) including PAYG overage. Routed sample: simple pages on Cost-effective (3), table/scan pages on Agentic (10), form pages on Agentic + enriched forms (10 + 10). Reducto at Standard PAYG list rates, before the one-time $150 free usage and without the −20% batch discount. Unstructured at $0.015 / page in a steady month (the one-time 10,000 free pages are excluded). Mistral OCR is omitted: its per-1,000-page price was not shown on Mistral's pricing page when checked. Output quality differs by tier and vendor — test a sample of your own documents before committing.
