Learn about ParseX's per-capability metering dimensions, where to view usage in the console, and the boundaries of official pricing information.
Usage for Parse and Extract is recorded separately. Document/image content is metered by page; audio and video parsing is metered by second.
Accounts activating ParseX for the first time receive the following quotas:
For example, directly extracting a newly uploaded 10-page document deducts 10 pages from the extraction quota when the extraction free quota applies and is sufficient, while the parsing free quota remains unchanged.
The following are pay-as-you-go prices for real-time processing.
The following examples assume no free quota is available for deduction, and that the example quantities equal the actual metered quantities. Audio/video durations are first converted to seconds.
Input metering dimensions
| Input type | Metering dimension |
|---|---|
| PDF, PPT, and images | Metered by the actual number of pages processed; images are metered as pages, and oversized images are split |
| Text containers such as Word documents, spreadsheets, Markdown, plain text, HTML, and e-books | Converted to pages based on text volume / 2000 |
| Audio and video | Metered by the actual processing duration, in seconds |
One-time free quota
Accounts activating ParseX for the first time receive the following quotas:
| Capability | One-time free quota |
|---|---|
| Document/image parsing | 3,000 pages |
| Field extraction | 3,000 pages |
| Video parsing | 100 hours |
| Audio parsing | 100 hours |
| Rule | Description |
|---|---|
| Number of grants | Granted once upon first activation; not reissued daily or monthly |
| Quota exhausted | Automatically billed on a pay-as-you-go basis |
| Direct extraction from new documents | Only deducts from the extraction free quota, not the parsing free quota |
Pay-as-you-go pricing
The following are pay-as-you-go prices for real-time processing.
Parse (document parsing)
| Parsing type | Unit price |
|---|---|
| Document/image parsing | ¥0.02 / page |
| Video parsing | ¥0.002 / second |
| Audio parsing | ¥0.00035 / second |
Extract (field extraction)
| Scenario | Unit price | Processing included |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction from new document/image files | ¥0.06 / page | Parse first, then extract |
| Extraction using reusable parse results | ¥0.04 / page | Perform field extraction directly on the parse result |
- The unit price for direct extraction from new documents already includes parsing; no additional parsing fee is charged.
- "Already parsed" means this extraction actually reused a ParseX parse result; files processed by other tools do not fall into this pricing scenario.
- For the conditions for reusing parse results, see Supported Files and Limits.
Cost calculation examples
The following examples assume no free quota is available for deduction, and that the example quantities equal the actual metered quantities. Audio/video durations are first converted to seconds.
| Operation | Calculation | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Parse 100 pages of document/image content | 100 × ¥0.02 | ¥2.00 |
| Directly extract a 100-page new document | 100 × ¥0.06 | ¥6.00 |
| Extract from 100 pages of reusable parse results | 100 × ¥0.04 | ¥4.00 |
| Parse 10 minutes of audio | 600 × ¥0.00035 | ¥0.21 |
| Parse 10 minutes of video | 600 × ¥0.002 | ¥1.20 |
