Frequently asked questions

What is a credit?

Credits are the unit of consumption for the Data Extraction API. Parse requests cost 1 credit per page in text mode, 1.5 credits per page in structure mode, 9 credits per page in understand mode, and 18 credits per page in agentic mode. Extract requests add 6 credits per page to the selected Parse mode, for totals of 7, 7.5, 15, or 24 credits per page. Unused credits do not roll over to the next month.

Which mode should I use to estimate my credit usage?

understand mode is the recommended default — it handles all document types with structured extraction and semantic enrichment. For Parse, estimate monthly usage as 1 credit per page in text mode, 1.5 credits per page in structure mode, 9 credits per page in understand mode, or 18 credits per page in agentic mode. For Extract, add 6 credits per page to the selected mode.

What is the difference between monthly and annual billing?

Monthly billing charges month-to-month with no commitment. Annual billing is paid upfront for 12 months at a discounted rate.

What happens if I exceed my monthly credit limit?

Processing stops when your monthly credits are exhausted. Upgrade to a higher plan or contact sales for a custom quota.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The Free plan gives you 5,000 credits/month with no credit card required — enough for 5,000 text Parse pages, about 3,333 structure Parse pages, or about 555 understand Parse pages. For Extract, the same 5,000 credits cover about 714 text + Extract pages, 666 structure + Extract pages, 333 understand + Extract pages, or 208 agentic + Extract pages.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.
