// The short answer

What LlamaParse costs

LlamaParse costs 1,000 credits for $1.25, and each operation spends a fixed number of credits per page. Fast parse is 1 credit ($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, so it runs from 6 credits ($7.50 per 1,000 pages) up to 60 credits ($75). Every account gets 10,000 free credits each month, which renews, unlike Reducto's one-time 15,000 or Landing AI's 1,000 that expire in 90 days. Against plain cloud OCR at $1.50 per 1,000 pages, LlamaParse only undercuts it on the Fast tier, which returns text with no markdown. You pay for structure, not for cheaper OCR.

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 tiers and runs from $7.50 to $75 per 1,000 pages.
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 60 credits per page.
Is LlamaParse free?
It has a genuine free tier that renews. Every account gets 10,000 free credits each month, which is enough for 10,000 Fast-parsed pages or 1,000 Agentic-parsed pages a month at no cost. This is more generous than its rivals: Landing AI gives 1,000 credits that expire in 90 days and Reducto gives 15,000 credits one time only. For a small, steady workload, LlamaParse can stay free.
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?
Structured extraction is billed as an extract tier plus a parse tier, so the total is 6 to 60 credits per page, which is $7.50 to $75 per 1,000 pages. The cheapest combination is Cost-effective extract (5 credits) plus Fast parse (1 credit) at $7.50 per 1,000 pages, and the most expensive is Agentic extract (15 credits) plus Agentic Plus parse (45 credits) at $75.
Is LlamaParse cheaper than Reducto or Landing AI?
For a true agentic parse, yes. LlamaParse Agentic is $12.50 per 1,000 pages against roughly $30 for Reducto agentic and $30 for Landing AI DPT-2. For a plain parse, Reducto standard ($15) and Landing AI DPT-2 mini ($15) are close to LlamaParse Cost-effective ($3.75), and LlamaParse Fast ($1.25) is the cheapest of all but returns text only. LlamaParse also has the only free tier that renews monthly.
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 or tables?
Layout extraction is a 3-credit-per-page add-on, which is $3.75 per 1,000 pages on top of your parse tier. Table handling is built into the Agentic and Agentic Plus tiers rather than charged separately. Spreadsheets are billed at 1 credit per sheet, audio at 3 credits per minute, and stored files at 100 credits per gigabyte per day, so watch storage if you keep parsed documents in LlamaCloud.
Is LlamaParse worth it?
It is worth it when you need clean markdown or structured fields out of messy PDFs for a retrieval or LLM pipeline, and the 10 to 45 credit agentic tiers genuinely outperform raw OCR on tables and multi-column layouts. It is not worth it for clean, printed, single-column pages where you only need the text, since cloud OCR does that for $1.50 per 1,000 pages. The monthly free credits make it easy to test on your own documents first.
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 roughly $14 to $20 per 1,000 pages. LlamaParse can be cheaper per parse, but you build and own the surrounding workflow. The right choice depends on whether you want an API or a finished product.

Test the output on your own documents

A credit rate says nothing about accuracy. Upload a document to DocuOCR, see the extracted fields, and compare before you build a pipeline around any parser.
