Pricing
Understanding LeapOCR's credit-based pricing system
Pricing
Simple, Usage-Based Pricing
LeapOCR uses a transparent credit system—you only pay for the pages you process. No hidden fees, no surprises.
How It Works
Every document page you process consumes credits based on:
- The OCR model you choose (base cost)
- Whether you use advanced features (optional surcharge)
Model Pricing
Choose the right model for your needs:
| Model | Credits/Page | Ideal Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Standard v2 | 1 credit | Everyday documents, forms, receipts, invoices |
| Pro v2 | 3 credits | Complex layouts, handwriting, harder pages |
Which Model Should I Choose?
- Standard v2: Best for most business documents and the most cost-efficient default
- Pro v2: Best for harder documents where accuracy matters more than cost
Advanced Features
Structured Output & Custom Instructions
Need more than just text? Extract specific data into JSON format or apply custom processing rules.
Surcharge: +1 credit per page (any model)
| Model | Base Cost | With Advanced Features | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard v2 | 1 credit | +1 credit | 2 credits/page |
| Pro v2 | 3 credits | +1 credit | 4 credits/page |
Note: Basic OCR (markdown output) has no surcharge. You only pay extra when using structured JSON extraction or custom instructions.
Pricing Examples
Basic Document Processing
- 100-page contract (Standard v2):
100 × 1 = 100 credits - 50-page manual (Pro v2):
50 × 3 = 150 credits
Structured Data Extraction
- 20 invoices with JSON extraction (Standard v2):
20 × 2 = 40 credits - 100 forms with custom validation (Pro v2):
100 × 4 = 400 credits

Smart Cost Optimization
1. Match Model to Task
Don't overpay. Use Standard v2 for straightforward documents, and reserve Pro v2 for complex or high-value cases.
2. Use Basic OCR When Possible
Only enable structured output when you actually need JSON extraction.
3. Monitor Your Usage
Track consumption patterns in your dashboard to identify savings opportunities.
Transparent Billing
Check Before You Process
View your current credit balance in your dashboard before processing documents. All API requests automatically deduct credits based on the model and features used.
import { z } from "zod";
const CostTrackingSchema = z.object({
document_id: z.string(),
total: z.number(),
});
// Process with automatic credit deduction
const result = await client.ocr.processURL(documentUrl, {
format: "structured",
model: "standard-v2",
schema: z.toJSONSchema(CostTrackingSchema),
});Low Balance Protection
- Dashboard alerts when credits run low
- API errors prevent processing with insufficient credits
- Real-time tracking so you're never surprised
Refund Policy
- Instant refunds for failed jobs
- Full refunds for incomplete processing
- No questions asked—credits return to your account immediately
Credit Calculation Formula
Total Credits = Pages × (Base Cost + Surcharge)
Where:
- Pages = Number of pages in your document
- Base Cost = Model-specific credits per page
- Surcharge = 0 (basic OCR) or 1 (structured output/custom instructions)Example Calculation
Processing a 10-page invoice with structured output using Standard v2:
Total = 10 pages × (1 base + 1 surcharge) = 20 creditsEnterprise Solutions
