Document size is the main cost driver

Document summarization cost usually rises with input length. Reports, policies and contracts can be much larger than chat messages, especially when OCR or extracted text includes tables and repeated headers.

For a useful estimate, paste extracted text from a representative document and set monthly interactions to the number of documents processed.

Document Summarization Cost Calculator FAQ

Can I paste PDF text into the calculator?

Yes. Paste extracted text from the PDF or enter manual token counts if your pipeline already measures them.

No. OCR, storage and document parsing costs are not included in this MVP.

How do I estimate bulk document processing?

Estimate one average document, then set monthly interactions to the number of documents processed per month.
