Agentic Document Extraction Pricing for LlamaParse, Reducto and Landing AI Per 1,000 Pages

Frequently asked questions

What is agentic document extraction?

Agentic document extraction runs a large language model or vision-language model over each page instead of a fixed OCR pipeline, so it reads layout, tables and nested fields, returns clean markdown or a schema you defined, and can self-correct. The products people mean by the term are LlamaParse, Reducto, Landing AI Agentic Document Extraction and Extend. The reasoning pass is why it costs several times more than plain cloud OCR.

How much does agentic document extraction cost per 1,000 pages?

An agentic-quality parse costs about $5.50 to $30 per 1,000 pages today, against $1.50 for plain cloud OCR. Landing AI DPT-3 Verity is about $5.50 as an async job, Reducto r-1 is $10, LlamaParse Agentic is $12.50 and Landing AI DPT-3 Pro is $15 async or $30 synchronous. Structured extraction runs $20 (Reducto) to $118.75 (LlamaParse at its top tier).

Which agentic document extractor is cheapest?

For a typical page, Landing AI DPT-3 Verity on an async job at about $5.50 per 1,000 pages, but it is a preview model aimed at digitally created Latin-script documents. On scans and mixed documents, Reducto r-1 at $10 undercuts LlamaParse Agentic at $12.50 and Landing AI DPT-3 Pro at $15. For extraction, Reducto Extract at $20 with parsing included is the cheapest published rate.

Is agentic document extraction worth it over regular OCR?

It is worth the premium when documents have complex layouts, dense tables, or nested fields that break traditional OCR, and when you want markdown or a defined schema back in one call. For clean, printed, single-column pages where you only need the raw text, Read-class cloud OCR at $1.50 per 1,000 pages does the same job for a fraction of the price. Match the tool to the document, not to the hype.

How do LlamaParse credits convert to dollars?

LlamaParse sells credits at 1,000 credits for $1.25, so each credit is $0.00125. A parse tier that costs 10 credits per page is $12.50 per 1,000 pages. Extraction stacks an extract tier on a parse tier, from 6 credits ($7.50 per 1,000 pages) to 95 credits ($118.75). Plans run Free, Starter at $50 and Pro at $500 a month, all at the same credit price.

How much does Landing AI Agentic Document Extraction cost?

Landing AI sells credits at $0.01 and prices DPT-3 by page plus output characters. A typical 4,000-character page on DPT-3 Pro costs 1.5 credits as an async job ($15 per 1,000 pages) and 3 credits through a synchronous call ($30), because every synchronous call bills the priority tier at double. DPT-3 Verity runs about $5.50 async and $11 sync.

How much does Reducto cost per page?

Reducto now bills in dollars per 1,000 pages. Its r-1 parse model is $10 per 1,000 pages ($0.01 a page), Extract is $20 with parsing included, Deep Extract is $40 and Classify is $7.50. The batch queue takes 20 percent off Parse and Extract. API calls that do not select r-1 still bill legacy Parse at $15 to $60 per 1,000 pages.

What changed in Reducto and Landing AI pricing in September 2026?

Both repriced. Reducto replaced its $0.015 credit with per-product rates on September 1, 2026, added the $10 r-1 parse and folded parsing into the $20 Extract price. Landing AI launched DPT-3, which bills a per-page rate plus output characters and charges synchronous calls twice the async rate. Price comparisons written before September 2026 are out of date.

Why is agentic document extraction so much more expensive than OCR?

Because you are paying for a language-model reasoning pass over every page, not just character recognition. Traditional OCR maps pixels to characters with a fixed model, which is why Textract, Azure Document Intelligence and Google Document AI all sell it at $1.50 per 1,000 pages. Agentic tools interpret structure, rebuild tables and return markdown or a schema, and that compute costs roughly 4 to 20 times more.

Do these tools charge by the page or by the character?

It is split. LlamaParse, Reducto and Extend charge a flat rate per page, so their per-1,000-pages numbers are real quotes. Landing AI bills both parse and extract partly by the character, so a dense page costs more than a light one and any per-1,000-pages figure is an average for a typical 4,000-character page, not a fixed price.

Is there a free tier for agentic document extraction?

All four offer free usage, but only LlamaParse renews it. LlamaParse gives 10,000 credits every month, though the Free plan stops with an error when they run out. Reducto gives $150 of usage one time, Extend 10,000 credits to start, and Landing AI 1,000 credits. For a steady small workload, only LlamaParse stays free.

How does agentic extraction pricing compare to Textract, Azure and Google?

It is several times more per page. AWS Textract Detect Document Text, Azure AI Document Intelligence Read and Google Document AI Enterprise OCR all charge $1.50 per 1,000 pages for plain text. Agentic parses start around $5.50 (Landing AI Verity, async) and $10 (Reducto r-1) and reach $30 to $56.25. The trade is accuracy on hard layouts and structured output for a higher unit cost.

Can I mix agentic extraction with cheaper OCR?

Yes, and it is usually the right call at volume. Route clean, simple pages through Read-class OCR at $1.50 per 1,000 pages and reserve agentic extraction for the documents that need it, such as dense financial tables or multi-column forms. A managed platform like DocuOCR does this routing for you and bills per page with the review workflow included, at about $14 to $20 per 1,000 pages.
