# How much does Unsiloed AI cost per page?

Unsiloed AI charges per page of the submitted document, at the same rate for Parse, Extract, Classify and Split within a plan: $0.02 per page on Pay per page, $0.0125 per page on Credits, $0.0125 per page on Standard and $0.01 per page on Growth. You send a job such as `POST https://agents.unsiloed.ai/zcj/dzfcy9zsiq1b/parse` with a document URL, and the 402 (the price quote, which you pay and retry) states the exact amount from the document's page count before anything is paid. Pay per page needs no plan: pay over x402 or MPP, the wallet rails, or by card for calls of $0.50 or more, and follow [the buyer skill](https://agents.unsiloed.ai/zcj/dzfcy9zsiq1b/SKILL.md) for the full flow.

## At a glance

- **Meter:** pages. A PDF page, an image or a slide counts as one page each, and a spreadsheet counts one page per 5,000-by-5,000-cell block.
- **Price per page:** Pay per page $0.02 per page, Credits $0.0125 per page, Standard $0.0125 per page, Growth $0.01 per page. The rate is the same for all four services.
- **Submit endpoints:** `POST /parse`, `POST /v2/extract`, `POST /classify` and `POST /splitter` on `https://agents.unsiloed.ai/zcj/dzfcy9zsiq1b`. Each returns a job id.
- **Result calls:** `GET /parse/{job_id}`, `/extract/{job_id}`, `/classify/{job_id}` and `/splitter/{job_id}` draw nothing.
- **Payment:** x402 (Base USDC), MPP (Tempo USDC), or card for calls of $0.50 or more. Plans are bought with `POST /plans/{planId}/purchase`. The plan ids are in the [catalog](https://agents.unsiloed.ai/zcj/dzfcy9zsiq1b/manifest.json).
- **Credential:** the per-call payment itself needs none, but a job paid with no credential on the submit cannot be read afterwards. Send a bearer credential, the agent identity the storefront issues for free, on the submit and on the result call. Registration is in [auth.md](https://agents.unsiloed.ai/zcj/dzfcy9zsiq1b/auth.md).

## Price per page by plan

| Plan | Price per page | What you pay | Suits |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Pay per page | $0.02 per page | Each call pays its own 402. There is nothing to buy. | Usage whose total at this rate stays under $5, such as 100 pages at $2 |
| Credits | $0.0125 per page | A prepaid balance of at least $5, topped up with `POST /extend`. Unused funds remain credit. | Usage that would cost more than $5 at Pay per page: 1,000 pages cost $12.50 instead of $20 |
| Standard | $0.0125 per page | $250 a month, including $250 of usage. Pages beyond that are metered. | Monthly volume: 20,000 pages cost $250 at this rate, the usage Standard includes |
| Growth | $0.01 per page | $750 a month, including $750 of usage. Pages beyond that are metered. | Larger monthly volume: 75,000 pages cost $750 at this rate, the usage Growth includes |

## Worked costs

Each figure is the page count multiplied by the plan's price per page.

| Pages | Pay per page | Credits | Standard | Growth |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 100 | $2 | $1.25 | $1.25 | $1 |
| 1,000 | $20 | $12.50 | $12.50 | $10 |
| 20,000 | $400 | $250 | $250 | $200 |

On Credits, usage is drawn from a balance bought for at least $5. On Standard and Growth, usage is drawn from the $250 and $750 included in the plan price.

Credits pay back against Pay per page once the same pages at the Pay per page rate would cost more than the $5 minimum. Below that, as with 100 pages at $2, Pay per page costs less than the smallest Credits purchase. Above it, every page costs less on Credits: 1,000 pages save $7.50.

## What is charged, and when

1. Send the submit with your bearer credential. On MPP, send it as `ZC-Agent-Authorization: Bearer <access token>` instead.

   ```http
   POST https://agents.unsiloed.ai/zcj/dzfcy9zsiq1b/parse
   Content-Type: application/json
   Authorization: Bearer <access token>

   {"url": "https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf"}
   ```

2. The storefront answers `402` with `payment.amountUsd` set from the document's pages. Nothing is charged until you pay it.
3. Pay the challenge and retry the same request. On the two-page blank IRS Form 1040, a Parse submit was quoted and paid at $0.04. An Extract submit on that form paid $0.04. A Classify submit on that form paid $0.04.
4. Poll the result call with the same bearer. It draws nothing.

The bearer goes on the submit as well as on the result call. A job paid with no credential on the submit cannot be read afterwards. A card pays per call only when the call costs $0.50 or more. A smaller call is rejected and is not rounded up. To pay small jobs by card, buy Credits, which cost at least $5 by card.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do Parse, Extract, Classify and Split cost different amounts?

No. Within a plan, all four count pages of the submitted document and charge the same price per page. Only the plan you pay on changes the rate.

### What does Classify charge for a document longer than four pages?

Classify assigns the category from the first four pages of the document. Usage is still the page count of the whole document, so a ten-page PDF is billed as ten pages.

### How are spreadsheets and slide decks counted?

Each slide is one page. A workbook counts one page for each block of 5,000 by 5,000 cells. Excel workbooks go to `POST /parse/excel` and are priced at the Parse rate.

### Do I need an account or an API key?

No. Pay per page needs no signup and no key. The bearer credential is free to register. A job paid with no credential on the submit cannot be read afterwards, so send the bearer on the submit and on the result call. A plan purchase also needs it.

### Can I see the price before paying?

Yes. The 402 states the exact amount for the document's pages, and nothing is charged until you pay it.
