OCR models

OCR and document parsing models: images and PDFs in, their text, markdown or structured fields out. Price per 1,000 pages on the provider’s own API where it prices by page; per 1M tokens where a vision-language OCR model prices by token. Rows show standard prices; other price tiers are on each model’s page. Dots show where each value came from; a hollow dot means it is not verified yet.
