Raw API cost based on Claude Sonnet 4.6 public pricing: $3.00/M input tokens, $15.00/M output tokens (verified May 2026). Average page modeled at 700 input tokens + 150 output tokens.
The 10× production overhead multiplier reflects realistic DIY costs beyond raw API tokens: engineering time (1-2 FTE for production extraction pipeline), OCR for scanned and handwritten content, schema validation, retry and error handling, observability, and infrastructure. Actual multipliers vary by volume — typically higher (15-50×) at moderate volumes, lower (3-10×) at very high volumes.

| Structuring cell (Registry-resolved) | per cell | Free | 0 |
| Intelligence operation (Matching, Cases) | per op | €0.100 | 100 |
| Batch mode (applied to Ingest + Structuring) | multiplier | 0.5× | 0.5× |

The Registry advantage
Why Talonic gets cheaper the more you use it.
Most extraction APIs charge you full price for every document, every time. Talonic doesn’t. Every page you ingest contributes fields to your Field Registry: a knowledge graph of canonical fields specific to your data.
When you run a future job, ~30% of cells resolve directly from the graph with zero AI calls. Those cells cost you nothing. As your Registry grows, that ratio climbs.
Pay once to ingest. Query forever, asymptotically free.

}Auto top-up is human-gated: a human enables it via PATCH /v1/billing/settings, then agents can call POST /v1/billing/topup. The agent cannot enable top-up itself (returns 403 if not enabled).
Frequently asked questions
- How does pricing work?
- There are no subscriptions. The API and MCP server are pay as you go: every account gets 5,000 free credits each month, and when you need more you buy prepaid credit packs with a card. The Platform is an Enterprise product with custom contracts via sales.
- What is a credit?
- One credit equals €0.001 (1,000 credits = €1). Every operation is metered in credits, and every price is also published in EUR so you always know what you’re paying: page ingest is 100 credits (€0.10), an AI-resolved structuring cell is 20 credits (€0.02), and Registry-resolved cells are free.
- How does the free tier work?
- Every account includes 5,000 credits per month with no credit card. It is a hard cap: when the credits are used, the API returns 429 until your free credits reset at the start of the next month, or until you buy a credit pack. Free monthly credits reset monthly and do not roll over.
- How do I buy credits?
- Inside the app at app.talonic.com. Pick a flat pack (€10, €50, €250, or €1,000) or a custom amount from €10 up to €5,000 self-serve. Pricing is flat at every size: 1,000 credits = €1, with no volume bonuses.
- Do purchased credits expire?
- Purchased credits are valid for 12 months from purchase. Credits are non-refundable; your statutory rights are unaffected.
- What does “Registry queries are free” actually mean?
- Every page you ingest contributes fields to your Field Registry: a knowledge graph of canonical fields specific to your data. Future jobs resolve ~30% of cells (and growing) directly from the graph with zero AI calls. Those cells cost nothing.
- How does batch mode work?
- Set processing_mode=batch on upload. Stage 1 (OCR + classification) runs immediately. Stage 2 (extraction) runs against the provider’s batch API with a 48-hour delivery window. Bills at 0.5× on Ingest and Structuring.
- Can my AI agent buy credits autonomously?
- Top-up is human-gated. A human enables auto top-up via PATCH /v1/billing/settings, then the agent can call POST /v1/billing/topup programmatically. The agent cannot enable top-up itself (403 if not enabled). Every API response carries credit-cost and balance headers.
- What does Enterprise include?
- The Platform is sales-led: the full workspace for teams with SSO, ISO 27001 / ISO 42001 aligned controls, DIN SPEC 91491, BAA, SLA, on-prem options, dedicated support, and volume contracts with invoicing. There is no public price; talk to sales for a custom contract.
