Platform Units consumption

This section includes specific information about the metering and charging logic for Platform Units, depending on the used activity, and explains the Platform Unit cost per page for extractors, OCR engines, classifiers, and other components.

Note: The charges apply per extracted page and per extraction method.
Note: For training costs, check the Platform Units page from the AI Center guide.

Platform Units charges per page

For Document Understanding modern projects 0.2 Platform Units are charged, regardless of the operations performed on a page at runtime or if multiple modern projects are used to extract data from the same page. This includes digitization operations - such as OCR - as well as extraction, or classification. This applies to all operations, encompassing both robotic process automation (RPA) and APIs operations.

For Platform Units consumption when using generative features, check the Generative features section from this page.

Model training

There are no Platform Units charged when training and serving models. This means you can freely train models to improve performance, develop new capabilities, and experiment without concerns about incurring additional Platform Units charges.

Generative features

Depending on the version of the activity package you are using, there are slight differences related to AI units consumption:
  • Activities versions newer than:
    • IntelligentOCR 6.23.2-preview
    • DocumentUnderstanding.Activities 2.13.2-preview
  • Activities versions up to:
    • IntelligentOCR 6.23.2-preview
    • DocumentUnderstanding.Activities 2.13.2-preview

Activities version 24.12-preview and above

This consumption is applicable in the following situations:
  • Using the following activities versions with PredefinedGenerative projects:
    • IntelligentOCR newer than 6.23.2-preview
    • DocumentUnderstanding.Activities newer than 2.13.2-preview
  • Using Document Understanding API v1.1 with PredefinedGenerative projects.

There are no additional Platform Units consumed when using Generative Classification and Generative Extraction. There are only 0.2 Platform Units charged, regardless of the operations performed on a page at runtime, including Generative Classification and Generative Extraction.

Activities version up to 24.12-preview

This consumption is applicable in the following situations:
  • Using the following activities versions with PredefinedGenerative projects:
    • IntelligentOCR up to 6.23.2-preview
    • DocumentUnderstanding.Activities up to 2.13.2-preview
  • Using Document Understanding API v1.0 with the Predefined project.

Each generative feature incurs its own usage charge, as detailed in the table below.

Table 1. Generative features Platform Units consumption for activitities version up to 24.12-preview
Generative featureConsumed Platform Units
Generative Classifier0.04 per operation
Generative Extraction0.24 per operation
Generative Validation0.2 per operation

For example, if you are processing a document using extraction and Generative Classifier, the consumption is 0.24 Platform Units per page.

Document Understanding activity packages

For the DocumentUnderstanding.Activities package, 0.2 Platform Unist are charged per page, regardless of the operations performed - whether it's digitization, extraction, or classification. This only applies when a pre-defined generative or modern project classifier or extractor is in use. If you use any other classifier or extractor, the respective consumption logic from the classic projects is added to the one Platform Unit per page.

For the InteligentOCR.Activities package, 0.2 Platform Units are charged per page, whether it's digitization, extraction, or classification. This only applies when a modern project classifier or extractor is in use. If you use any other classifier or extractor, the respective consumption logic from the classic projects is added to the one Platform Unit per page.
