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 send | Pages charged |
|---|---|
| A one-page invoice PDF | 1 |
| A five-page contract PDF | 5 |
| A photograph of a receipt | 1 |
| A twelve-page scanned statement | 12 |
| A spreadsheet or text file | Counted 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.
