Free to start, pay as you go

Datalab now has a free tier and pay-as-you-go pricing. Start parsing for free with a monthly usage allowance, then pay only for the pages you actually process — no subscription, no minimum, no plan to pick.

We’re excited to launch a free tier with pay-as-you-go pricing for Datalab. We’ve heard your interest in a flexible plan that lets you test on smaller volumes before scaling up, without committing to a fixed monthly rate. Our free tier enables exactly that — start parsing for free, no subscription or commitment needed.

Free, every month

Accounts in our free tier come with a monthly usage allowance you can spend across any of our processors:

  • $20/month on a work email
  • $10/month on a personal email

Credits reset at the start of each 30-day cycle. It’s designed so you can run a full POC from start to finish — proving accuracy on your own documents before anyone has to add a card. The free tier comes with a rate limit of 25 requests per minute.

Need more? Pay for exactly what you use

When you outgrow the free allowance, add a card and switch to pay-as-you-go. There’s no plan to pick and no minimum. You’re billed only for the pages you actually process.

Rates are now per-processor and additive, so you only pay for the steps you run. For example, if you convert then extract a 1,000-page document, it’s $4 + $6 = $10. A few of the new rates (per 1,000 pages):

  • Conversion: $4 fast/balanced, $10 accurate
  • Extraction: $6 fast, $25 balanced (balanced adds a compute surcharge on complex schemas — none for most documents, typically $0–$2)
  • Segmentation, track changes, form filling, spreadsheets, document creation: $6
  • Custom processors: $20

You can see the full rate card, with worked examples, at datalab.to/pricing.

For teams and enterprises

If you’re scaling up, our Team plan is $400/month and includes $400 of usage per month, production rate limits, clickthrough BAA/DPA, a SOC 2 report, and more custom processors.
