Pricing examples
Example 1
You sent 100 pages to Form Parser in your monthly billing cycle. Your monthly bill is:
- ($30 / 1,000 pages) * (100 pages) = $3 for prediction services
Example 2
You sent 6 million pages to Form Parser in your monthly billing cycle, your monthly bill is:
- ($20 / 1,000 pages) * (5,000,000 pages) = $100,000 for prediction services
- ($30 / 1,000 pages) * (1,000,000 pages) = $30,000 for prediction services
- Total: $130,000
Fine-tuning charges
For the US region, the cost is $46.39 per hour.
Document AI fine-tuning charges based on the costs of the underlying Vertex AI machines used for fine-tuning. Document AI fine-tuning uses the following Vertex AI hardware:
- One a2-ultragpu-8g compute engine machine
- Eight 80GB NVIDIA A100 accelerators
- A 500GB pd-ssd compute engine disk
The price of Document AI fine-tuning may change as the underlying hardware used evolves and/or if the cost to use the underlying hardware changes.
Fine-tuning charges are only applicable when you fine-tune a generative AI model type. There is no charge to train custom models in Document AI.
Classify documents
| Processor | 1 - 1,000,000 pages/month | 1,000,001+ pages/month |
|---|---|---|
| Custom splitter | $5 per 1,000 pages | $3 per 1,000 pages |
| Custom classifier | $5 per 1,000 pages | $3 per 1,000 pages |
| Summarizer | $25 per 1,000 pages | $25 per 1,000 pages |
Custom processor hosting
With custom processors, you pay for hosting and prediction.
Hosting charges
| Operation | Price |
|---|---|
| Hosting | $0.05 per hour per deployed processor version you create |
Pricing example:
One processor version deployed for a year costs $438 ($.05 * 24 * 365).
Pretrained processor charges
| Processor | Pricing |
|---|---|
| Invoice parser | $0.10 for every 10 pages in a document |
| Expense parser (formerly receipt parser) | $0.10 for every 10 pages in a document |
| Utility parser 3 | $0.10 for every 10 pages in a document |
| Procurement document splitter & classifier 3 4 | $0.05 per classified document |
| Bank statement parser | $0.10 per classified document |
| Pay slip parser | $0.30 per classified document |
| W2 parser | $0.30 per classified document |
| Lending document splitter and classifier | $0.05 per classified document |
| US driver license parser | $0.10 per document |
| US passport parser | $0.10 per document |
| Identity document proofing | $0.10 per document |
Pricing examples
Here are a few pricing examples:
- To parse a document with between 1 to 10 pages costs $0.10.
- To parse a document with between 11 to 20 pages costs $0.20.
- To parse a document with between 91 to 100 pages costs $1.
Note that documents with more than 10 pages are not supported by synchronous requests. You can process multiple documents, each up to 200 pages, by sending a batch request. For more information, see Limits for specialized processors.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.
If the input document has multiple eligible forms, only the first is processed and charged the price listed. If the input document has no eligible form, processing doesn't occur and no charge is made.
