Cost Optimization Strategies

Parse

1. Use caching — Parsed files are cached for 48 hours. Re-parsing the same file within that window is free.
2. Choose the right tier — Start with Cost-effective (3 credits) for initial testing. Only move to Agentic (10) or Agentic Plus (45) when document complexity requires it. Fast (1 credit) outputs spatial text only — no markdown.
3. Use page ranges — Parse only the pages you need instead of entire documents. Specify target_pages to avoid processing irrelevant content.

Cross-product

4. Leverage extract-only pricing — If a file was previously parsed, subsequent extractions cost less (extract-only rates apply). Parse once, extract many times.
5. Pre-filter with Classify — Use Classify (1-2 credits/page) to filter documents before running more expensive Parse or Extract jobs.
6. Batch strategically — Group similar documents in a single job when possible rather than submitting many small requests.
