LlamaParse
Based on public pricing signals, xpay verified that LlamaParse publishes Free, Starter, Pro, and Enterprise tiers with explicit credit-to-dollar conversion ($1.25/1,000 credits) and PAYG ceilings ($500/mo Starter, $5,000/mo Pro). Public docs are open and self-serve checkout is available across the first three tiers. The credit-per-page mapping varies by mode (basic vs agentic), so per-page cost requires reading docs — docking one per-unit point.

Observational summary written by xpay from the signals captured on 2026-05-03. Not a review of the product — only of its current pricing posture for agent buyers.- Pricing is publicly visible on an indexable page — agents can read tiers without scraping past auth.
- Per-unit billing is published, so an agent can budget for a single task before committing.
- API documentation is reachable without a login — discovery and integration can happen in one session.
- Per-unit rate is concrete enough that an agent can model expected spend before issuing a request.
- A free tier exists, lowering the bar for an agent builder to prototype before committing budget.
- Some tiers are sales-led; the highest-capacity surfaces are not self-serve.
- PPU requires account creation and an issued API key; a fully unauthenticated agent purchase is not yet supported.
- No /.well-known/ai-pricing.json or equivalent machine-readable pricing manifest is published — agents must rely on HTML scraping.
How LlamaParse could lift its score
LlamaParse is already Verified. Two missing points: (1) publish /.well-known/ai-pricing.json with credit rates and per-mode page costs; (2) anonymous one-shot PPU via xpay widget. Both lift toward 100/100.
