LlamaParse Pricing Per Page and Per 1,000 Pages

Frequently asked questions

How much does LlamaParse cost per page?

LlamaParse charges by credit, at 1,000 credits for $1.25, so each credit is $0.00125. A Fast parse is 1 credit per page ($1.25 per 1,000 pages), Cost-effective is 3 credits ($3.75), Agentic is 10 credits ($12.50), and Agentic Plus is 45 credits ($56.25). Structured extraction stacks an extract tier on a parse tier and runs from $7.50 to $118.75 per 1,000 pages.

How much is the LlamaParse Starter plan?

Starter is $50 a month and includes 40,000 credits. Pro is $500 a month with 400,000 credits, and Enterprise is quoted. Plan credits cost the same $1.25 per 1,000 as pay-as-you-go, so a plan buys concurrency (20 parse jobs on Pro against 5 on Starter), storage and support, not cheaper pages. Only Enterprise lists a volume discount on credits.

What happens when you run out of LlamaParse credits?

On the Free plan, every call that spends credits returns an HTTP 402 error until the next billing cycle, because Free has no pay-as-you-go. On Starter and Pro, extra usage bills at $1.25 per 1,000 credits up to a monthly cap of $500 on Starter and $5,000 on Pro. An admin can also set the account to pause jobs instead of billing overage.

How many pages a month can you parse on LlamaParse without an Enterprise contract?

At the Agentic tier, about 44,000 pages a month on Starter and 440,000 on Pro. Starter gives 40,000 credits plus up to $500 of overage (400,000 credits), and Pro gives 400,000 plus up to $5,000 (4 million credits). At 10 credits per Agentic page, those caps are the self-serve ceiling. Above it you need a quoted Enterprise plan.

How do LlamaParse credits work?

You buy credits and every operation spends a set number of them per page. Credits cost $1.25 per 1,000, so multiply the credits-per-page by $0.00125 to get the per-page price, or by $1.25 to get the price per 1,000 pages. Parsing spends 1 to 45 credits per page depending on tier, and extraction spends an extract tier plus a parse tier, from 6 to 95 credits per page.

Is LlamaParse free?

It has a free plan that renews. Every account gets 10,000 free credits each month, enough for 10,000 Fast pages or 1,000 Agentic pages. The catch is the hard stop: Free has no pay-as-you-go, so jobs fail with a 402 error once the credits are gone. Reducto gives $150 of usage one time and Landing AI 1,000 credits one time.

What is the difference between the LlamaParse parse tiers?

The tiers trade cost for reasoning. Fast, at 1 credit per page, returns spatial text only with no markdown. Cost-effective, at 3 credits, adds clean markdown. Agentic, at 10 credits, runs a language model that rebuilds tables and complex layouts. Agentic Plus, at 45 credits, is the highest-accuracy mode for the hardest documents. Most production users land on Cost-effective or Agentic.

How much does LlamaParse extraction cost?

Extraction bills an extract tier plus a parse tier. The defaults are Cost-effective at 8 credits ($10 per 1,000 pages), Agentic at 25 credits ($31.25) and Agentic Plus at 60 credits ($75). Change the parse tier and the range runs from 6 credits ($7.50) to 95 credits ($118.75). Turbo is a single 35-credit rate ($43.75) with no separate parse step.

Is LlamaParse cheaper than Reducto or Landing AI?

Only on the plain tiers now. LlamaParse Cost-effective at $3.75 per 1,000 pages is the cheapest markdown parse of the three. For agentic quality, Reducto r-1 at $10 undercuts LlamaParse Agentic at $12.50, and Landing AI DPT-3 Verity runs about $5.50 as an async job on digital text. For extraction, Reducto bills $20 with parsing included against $31.25 for LlamaParse Agentic.

Is LlamaParse cheaper than AWS Textract or Azure?

No, once you turn on agentic parsing. AWS Textract, Azure AI Document Intelligence and Google Document AI all charge $1.50 per 1,000 pages for plain OCR, while LlamaParse Agentic is $12.50, about 8 times more. LlamaParse Fast at $1.25 is the only tier that undercuts them, and it returns spatial text with no markdown or reasoning. You pay LlamaParse for structure the cloud OCR APIs do not give you cleanly.

Does LlamaParse charge extra for layout, forms or storage?

Yes, three ways. Layout extraction adds 3 credits per page ($3.75 per 1,000). Enriched forms output, in beta, adds 10 credits per page that contains a form ($12.50 per 1,000 form pages) and is not available on Fast. Retained files cost 100 credits per gigabyte per day, while files uploaded with an expiration are never charged for storage.

Does LlamaParse charge to re-parse the same document?

No. The LlamaIndex pricing page lists smart result caching with a re-parse at 0 credits, and the extraction docs say a file already parsed by LlamaParse only pays the extract tier. So running a second schema over documents you already parsed costs the extract credits alone, which matters when you iterate on fields during a pilot.

How does LlamaParse pricing compare to a managed extraction platform?

LlamaParse is a parsing and extraction API you wire into your own pipeline and then review and correct yourself. A managed platform such as DocuOCR bundles classification, extraction, validation, human review and export, billed per page at about $14 to $20 per 1,000 pages on monthly billing. LlamaParse can be cheaper per parse, but you build and own the surrounding workflow.
