Credits and billing

How pages are counted

One page is one credit. What counts as a page, what happens on failure, and how to predict a bill.


Parsli meters one thing: pages. Not documents, not parsers, not fields, not integrations.

One Page costs one Credit. That is the whole pricing model.

What counts as a page

You sendPages charged
A one-page invoice PDF1
A five-page contract PDF5
A photograph of a receipt1
A twelve-page scanned statement12
A spreadsheet or text fileCounted by content length

Page count is resolved from the document itself at processing time — not estimated from file size, and not affected by how many fields you asked for.

Things that are free

Worth being explicit, because these are the usual worries:

  • Parsers are unlimited on every plan, free included. Make one per document type; there is no reason to economise.
  • Fields are not metered. A schema with forty fields costs the same as one with four.
  • Integrations are not metered, and every integration is available on every plan.
  • Failed extractions are refunded. Credits are reserved before processing and returned if extraction fails, so a document that errors does not cost you anything.

Things that do cost

  • Every extraction of every document, including the first one you run while testing a new parser. There is no free test mode — a test extraction is a real extraction against real infrastructure.
  • Reprocessing. Running a document again through a changed field definition charges its pages again.

Tip: When you are iterating on a field definition, work with a one-page sample rather than the full forty-page statement. Same feedback, one fortieth of the cost.

Predicting a bill

Multiply your monthly document volume by average pages per document.

Two hundred invoices a month at an average of 1.4 pages is 280 pages. Fifty statements a month at 12 pages is 600. Add them and pick the plan above the total.

If the number lands awkwardly between two plans, take the lower one — you can buy Overage for the difference, and you will have a real number after the first month.

Where to check usage

Your current balance and consumption are shown in the app under Settings, and on the dashboard.
