The invoice that started this post
A parsing bill should read like a utility meter: units in, price out. Instead the industry sells seats you don't need, bundles that expire, and evidence as a paid extra. We priced Fieldry the way we'd want to buy it.
The unit: $1 = 100 credits
One page of extraction costs 4 credits ($0.04). Pages with tables cost 2 more. That's the whole meter:
| What | Cost |
|---|---|
| Extract one page | 4 credits |
| Table on a page | +2 credits |
| Async batch queue | half credits |
| Evidence, validation, forensics | included, always |
| Free tier | 200 credits/month, renewed |
Dense pages over 2,000 words count extra page-units — same rate, no cliff. Every response carries X-Credits-Used, so spend is visible per call, not per month-end surprise.
What we left out (on purpose)
No seats. Five teammates or fifty cost the same: your documents. Collaboration shouldn't be taxed per chair.
No expiring bundles. Top-up credits are yours until used. Free monthly credits reset — that's the only balance with a clock, and it's free.
No gated evidence. Confidence scores, bounding boxes and audit trails ship on every value. Competitors charge extra for citations or confidence tiers; we consider them the product, not the upsell.
No dense-field surcharge. Over-100-field schemas cost the same per page. Complexity penalties punish your best use cases.
Top-ups start at $20 and earn automatic bonuses up to +25% at $500 — about $0.032 per page at the top tier. Same meter, volume thanked.
When credits don't fit
Enterprise programs with self-host deploys, SSO and custom SLAs get negotiated rates on the same credit meter — the unit doesn't change, the commitments around it do. If you process enough to care, talk to us and we'll model your exact volume.
Common questions
No. Top-ups stay on your balance until used. Only the free monthly 200 reset.
Automatically at top-up: $50 adds 5%, up to $500 adding 25%. No codes, no sales call.
Batch jobs run on a delayed queue instead of sync responses and cost half the credits. Same output, same evidence — just not instant. Ideal for backlogs and nightly jobs.
Really. One meter, four credits a page, everything included. If a quote ever needs a decoder ring, we've failed.
