--- title: Pricing | LlamaIndex OSS Documentation description: Detailed information about LlamaParse credit pricing and usage rates for parsing, indexing, extraction, classification, and split services. --- All features are priced using **credits**, which are billed per page (or minute for audio). Credits vary by parsing mode, model, and whether files are cached. --- ## Credit Rates | Region | Price per 1,000 Credits | | ------------- | ----------------------- | | North America | $1.25 | | Europe | $1.25 | ## Parsing - [v2 (Tiers)](#tab-panel-28) - [v1 (Modes)](#tab-panel-29) In the v2 API, parsing uses a simplified **tier-based** system. Choose a tier and the platform handles model selection automatically. | Tier | Credits per Page | | -------------- | ---------------- | | Fast | 1 | | Cost-effective | 3 | | Agentic | 10 | | Agentic Plus | 45 | **Additional Configs:** - **Layout extraction:** +3 credits per page (can be added to any tier) - **Spreadsheet:** 1 credit per sheet - **Audio:** 3 credits per minute In the v1 API, you select a parse mode and model directly. | Category | Mode | Model | Credits per Page | | ------------------------ | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------------- | | **Recommended Settings** | Cost-effective | - | 3 | | | Agentic | - | 10 | | | Agentic Plus | - | 45 | | **Presets** | Invoice | - | 90 | | | Scientific papers | - | 90 | | | Technical documentation | - | 90 | | | Forms | - | 90 | | **Modes** | Parse without AI | - | 1 | | | Parse page with LLM | - | 3 | | | Parse page with LVM | anthropic-sonnet-3.5 (deprecated) | 60 | | | | anthropic-sonnet-3.7 | 60 | | | | anthropic-sonnet-4.0 | 60 | | | | anthropic-sonnet-4.5 | 60 | | | | anthropic-haiku-4.5 (preview) | 30 | | | | openai-gpt-4o-mini | 15 | | | | openai-gpt-4o | 30 | | | | openai-gpt-4-1-nano | 15 | | | | openai-gpt-4-1-mini | 20 | | | | openai-gpt-4-1 | 30 | | | | openai-gpt-5-nano | 10 | | | | openai-gpt-5-mini | 30 | | | | openai-gpt-5 | 150 | | | | gemini-2.0-flash | 6 | | | | gemini-2.5-flash | 25 | | | | gemini-2.5-pro | 60 | | | | Custom Azure Model | 1 | | | | Use your own API key | 1 | | | Parse page with Layout Agent | - | 45 | | | Parse page with Agent | anthropic-sonnet-3.5 (deprecated) | 45 | | | | anthropic-sonnet-3.7 | 90 | | | | anthropic-sonnet-4.0 | 90 | | | | anthropic-sonnet-4.5 | 90 | | | | anthropic-haiku-4.5 (preview) | 45 | | | | openai-gpt-4-1-mini | 10 | | | | openai-gpt-4-1 | 45 | | | | openai-gpt-5-nano | 10 | | | | openai-gpt-5-mini | 45 | | | | openai-gpt-5 | 90 | | | | gemini-2.0-flash | 10 | | | | gemini-2.5-flash | 10 | | | | gemini-2.5-pro | 45 | | | Auto Mode | - | 3–45 | | | Parse document with LLM | - | 30 | | | Parse document with Agent | anthropic-sonnet-3.7 | 90 | | | | anthropic-sonnet-4.0 | 90 | | | | anthropic-sonnet-4.5 | 90 | | **Other Options** | Structure Output | - | 3 | | **File Type Modes** | Spreadsheet | - | 1 per sheet | | | Audio | - | 3 per minute | | **Legacy Modes** | Continuous Mode | - | 30 | **Additional Configs:** - **Layout extraction:** +3 credits per page (can be added to any mode) --- ## Indexing | Mode | Credits per Page (or Sheet) | | ----------- | --------------------------- | | Standard | 1 | | Spreadsheet | 2 | | Multi-modal | 2 | --- ## Extraction - [v2 (Tiers)](#tab-panel-30) - [v1 (Modes)](#tab-panel-31) In the v2 API, extraction uses a simplified **tier-based** system. **Total credits per page = extract tier + parse tier.** Pick an extract tier for the structured-data step, and a parse tier for how the document is interpreted before extraction. **Extract tier** — quality of structured-data extraction: | Extract Tier | Credits per Page (extract only)\* | | -------------- | --------------------------------- | | Cost-effective | 5 | | Agentic | 15 | **Parse tier** — how the document is interpreted before extraction (configurable under Advanced Options; defaults to match the extract tier): | Parse Tier | Credits per Page | | -------------- | ---------------- | | Fast | 1 | | Cost-effective | 3 | | Agentic | 10 | | Agentic Plus | 45 | **Range:** 6 credits/page (Cost-effective extract + Fast parse) to 60 credits/page (Agentic extract + Agentic Plus parse). *\*For text files or pre-cached parsed files, only the extract-tier cost applies.* - For text files (md, txt, csv, html), a page is defined as the equivalent of 600 tokens. - For text files or if the file has previously been parsed by LlamaParse, only the extract-tier cost applies. | Mode | Credits per Page | Credits per Page (extract only)\* | | ---------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------- | | Fast | 5 | 4 | | Balanced | 10 | 7 | | Multimodal | 20 | 14 | | Premium | 60 | 15 | *\*For text files or pre-cached parsed files.* - For text files (md, txt, csv, html), a page is defined as the equivalent of 600 tokens. - For text files or if the file has previously been parsed by LlamaParse, only extraction costs apply. - For Multimodal mode, 6 additional credits will be charged for docx/pptx format. --- ## Split | Mode | Credits per Page | | ------- | ---------------------- | | Default | 4 (3 for cached files) | > If the file is already present in the LlamaParse cache, only split costs apply. --- ## Classification | Mode | Credits per Page | | ---------- | ---------------- | | Fast | 1 | | Multimodal | 2 | --- ## Sheets Sheets is currently in beta and **free to use**. --- ## Agents Agents is currently in beta and **free to use**. When agents make use of Parse, Extract, or Index, the pricing of the underlying module applies. --- ## Cost Optimization Strategies ### Parse 1. **Use caching** — Parsed files are cached for 48 hours. Re-parsing the same file within that window is free. 2. **Choose the right tier** — Start with Cost-effective (3 credits) for initial testing. Only move to Agentic (10) or Agentic Plus (45) when document complexity requires it. Fast (1 credit) outputs spatial text only — no markdown. 3. **Use page ranges** — Parse only the pages you need instead of entire documents. Specify `target_pages` to avoid processing irrelevant content. ### Cross-product 4. **Leverage extract-only pricing** — If a file was previously parsed, subsequent extractions cost less (extract-only rates apply). Parse once, extract many times. 5. **Pre-filter with Classify** — Use Classify (1-2 credits/page) to filter documents before running more expensive Parse or Extract jobs. 6. **Batch strategically** — Group similar documents in a single job when possible rather than submitting many small requests.
