Talonic Pricing
Ingest documents at €0.05 per page. Registry queries are free forever. Four tiers: Free (€0/month, 5,000 credits), Build (€49/month, 65,000 credits, 25% off), Scale (€499/month, 750,000 credits, 33% off), and Enterprise (custom volume pricing with SLA). All tiers include the full extraction pipeline, Field Registry, schema validation, OCR, provenance, and webhook delivery. Credits are the universal unit: 1,000 credits = €1. Page ingestion costs 50 credits per page. Structuring cells cost 20 credits each (registry-resolved cells are free). Intelligence operations cost 100 credits each. Batch mode runs at 0.5x cost with 48-hour delivery.

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.
Per-operation pricing
Every operation in Talonic, billed in credits and EUR.
| Operation | Description | EUR | Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page ingest (OCR + Registry contribution) | per page | €0.050 | 50 |
| Structuring cell (AI-resolved) | per cell | €0.020 | 20 |
| Structuring cell (Registry-resolved) | per cell | Free | 0 |
| Intelligence operation (Matching, Cases) | per op | €0.100 | 100 |
| Markdown-only ingest (no Registry contribution) | per page | €0.015 | 15 |
| Batch mode (applied to Ingest + Structuring) | multiplier | 0.5× | 0.5× |
1,000 credits = €1.00. Every API response includes credit-cost and balance headers.

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.
30%+ cells resolved free, on average

}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
- What is a credit?
- One credit equals €0.001. Every operation is metered in credits — but every price is also published in EUR so you always know what you’re paying.
- 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.
- What happens when I exceed my tier allowance?
- Build and Scale tiers auto top-up at the same per-operation rate (Builder pack increments — €50 for 55,000 credits +10%). Free tier is a hard cap; the API returns 429 until the next month or you upgrade.
- Do unused credits roll over?
- Tier credits reset monthly. Top-up credits roll forward for 12 months from purchase.
- 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.
