FAQ about Mindee's OCR API
How does the credit system work?
By default, 1 processed page = 1 credit ; 1 processed page with a confidence score = 1.5 credits
For utilities, the rate is 0.25 credits per page, and the additional cost of the utility is waived for pages linked to an extraction template. In this case, you only pay for the extraction models used, based on the credit cost of each one.
If in doubt, go to the “Credit Cost” tab on Mindee's platform to see the exact price of each of your models/utilities.
Credits are valid for the entire duration of your subscription period (monthly or annual) and expire at the end of that period. Unused credits are not carried over from one period to the next.
Whether you send documents as separate files or in batch uploads, we count each page accurately and transparently. This ensures predictability and fairness:
👉 No upcharges for complexity and no hidden processing fees. You’re only billed for what you actually submit.
This calculation method is consistent across all plans and tiers, helping you track usage and budget effectively.
What happens if I exceed my credit allowance?
By default, we'll automatically charge your payment method for additional credits at your plan's unit rate, with a 20% overage surcharge, so you're never blocked in production — your API continues to respond without interruption. You can also sign up for a new plan with additional credits at any time to take advantage of a better price per page.
Can I switch between plans at any time?
Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately and we'll pro-rate the difference. Transitions take effect at your next renewal.
What is the volume based pricing for Enterprise?
For Enterprise clients, our volume-based pricing is customized to align with your document processing needs and usage. Larger volumes benefit from discounted per-credit rates.
Enterprise clients also gain access to additional benefits, such as:
- Custom pricing: Based on expected page volume, ensuring competitive rates.
- Dedicated support: Priority support to ensure rapid issue resolution.
- Custom models: Access to tailored models for your unique document types.
- Workflow access: Option to include platform fees for full-workflow access.
If you’re interested in learning more about Enterprise pricing, our team is available to discuss your requirements and offer a personalized quote based on your specific use case and document volume.
How does Mindee's API pricing work?
Mindee’s pricing is structured to support businesses at every stage, from early testing to high-scale production. We offer three main subscription plans—Starter, Pro, and Enterprise—each with a fixed monthly credit volume and access to different features.
- Starter and Pro plans include a monthly credits allowance (ranging from 500 to 10,000 credits), with additional credits charged at a per-credit starting from $0.05.
- Enterprise plans are fully customizable and designed for organizations with specific volume, SLA, or integration needs.
Advanced features such as RAG capabilities, automation tools, and premium support are included progressively across the plans.
This model allows you to choose the plan that best fits your current needs while retaining the flexibility to scale as your usage grows.
Is it cheaper to build or buy a document processing API?
You can calculate your specific breakeven point, but in short :
BUY if :
- You are processing standard documents (Invoices, IDs, Receipts, Tax forms)
- You need speed-to-market and high accuracy immediately
- Document processing is a utility/commodity for your business, not the product
- You want predictable monthly spending without managing GPU hardware
BUILD if :
- Your documents are highly proprietary (e.g., secret blueprints, unique internal forms)
- You have strict data sovereignty requirements (Data cannot leave your private cloud)
- You want to own the Intellectual Property for a core business differentiator
- You process >30M pages/year, making the "API tax" higher than a 5-person engineering team
