| Free tier | USD 150 of free usage on the Standard plan, then list rates apply: Parse (r-1) USD 10 per 1,000 pages, Extract USD 20 per 1,000 pages unit credits; metered on unstated; the credit is denominated in USD; at the USD 10 per 1,000 pages r-1 Parse list rate, USD 150 / USD 10 per 1,000 pages = 15,000 pages. A third-party list prints '15k free credits' for the same free tier. Whether the USD 150 renews is unverified: the pricing page says 'your free $150' and names no period |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Limits |
|
| Binding | volume-quota the USD 150 credit runs out at about 15,000 r-1 Parse pages, long before the 100 MB per-file cap matters |
| Identity | email a free account created at studio.reducto.ai ('sign up for a free account'), then an API key from Studio; unverified: the sign-up form's fields and whether a card is asked, since studio.reducto.ai answers a login wall to every reader route tried |
| Egress | not published |
| Per-object cap | 100 MB per file through direct upload; 5 GB through a presigned-URL upload |
| Retention | uploaded files expire 24 hours after upload |
| Interface | rest, cli REST (POST https://platform.reducto.ai/parse with a Bearer API key), SDKs, a CLI (reducto-cli) and an MCP server endpoint: https://platform.reducto.ai/parse |
| Tooling | the Reducto Python, Node.js and Go SDKs, the reducto-cli command line, the MCP server, or plain REST with an API key created in Reducto Studio |
| Composes with | a one-time USD 150 credit worth about 15,000 r-1 Parse pages, with the Standard plan's 'No Page Limits' meaning pay-as-you-go afterwards; useful for a single bulk job rather than a recurring free lane |
| Reliability | no reliability event recorded; the list prices changed on 2026-09-01 and legacy credit rates were retired, and no request was made because a key needs a signed-in account |
| Evidence note | documented the USD 150 free usage, the page prices, the upload caps and the edge rate limit are quoted from vendor pages read on 2026-11-03; the sign-up fields, any card requirement and the renewal of the credit are unverified, and no request was made. |
