IXP overview guide
Flex Plan
The licensing information on this page applies to you if you are on Flex. If you are on Unified Pricing, refer to the IXP Unified Pricing.
Platform plans
The following table shows the features available in UiPath® IXP based on the Platform plan:
| Feature | Feature description | Pro Trial | Enterprise Trial | Pro | Enterprise - Standard | Enterprise - Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Communications data (Communications Mining) | Access to Communications Mining capabilities, except for CMEK. For more details, check Metering and charging logic (Unified Pricing). | No | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
| Unstructured and complex documents | Access to the Unstructured and complex documents capability. | No | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
To enable the IXP service, AI Units are required in addition to the Flex plan licenses.
Metering and charging logic
Measuring consumption
The UiPath® IXP utilization is measured based on the consumption rate of units.
Consuming units
In IXP, units are consumed at a rate of 1 AI Unit per chargeable action:
- Per message uploaded, modified or predicted (Communications Mining).
- Per page at run time, no charge at design time (Unstructured and complex documents).
Note:
As IXP models continuously retrain, and predictions automatically update, you are not charged on a per-prediction basis, but per message.
AI Units consumption
This section outlines how metering and charging for AI Units are determined based on the type of operation you perform:
| Product | Capability | Charge details | Activity or model | AI Units consumed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intelligent Xtraction and Processing (IXP) | Communications Data (Communications Mining) | Per message uploaded, modified or predicted | Classification and extraction | 1 |
| Intelligent Xtraction and Processing (IXP) | Unstructured and Complex Document s project | Per page at run time, no charge at design time | Intelligent Extraction | 1 |
Metering scenarios
This section describes what happens when different projects are used together on the same document.
The following table provides an example of the consumed units based only on the number of pages you extract:
Scenario 1
An insurance company processes incoming claim-related correspondence from multiple sources. The batch contains only unstructured documents such as adjuster reports, policyholder letters, and legal notices.
Considering you process a 50-page document, the consumption is as shown in the table that follows.
The units in the following tables reflect the default standard rates and serve as a reference for estimating consumption before purchase.
| Document type | Step | AI Units consumed (per page) | AI Units consumed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unstructured document | Classification (Generative classifier or Modern classifier) | 1 | 50 |
| Unstructured document | Extraction (IXP Unstructured and complex documents) | 1 | 50 |
In this case, the total amount of consumed AI Units is 100.
Scenario 2
Insurance documents, such as doctor’s letters, invoices, and so on. Each document must be classified first, then passed to specific extraction methods. There is no need to split the documents.
A doctor’s letter is 40 pages per document and an invoice is 10 pages per document.
The following table provides an example of the consumed units based on the number of pages you classify, and extract using IXP:
| Document type | Step | AI Units consumed (per page) | AI Units consumed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doctor's letter | Classification (Generative classifier or Modern classifier) | 1 | 40 |
| Doctor's letter | Extraction (IXP Unstructured & complex documents – doctor's letter) | 1 | 40 |
| Invoice |
| 1 | 10 |
In this case, the total amount of consumed AI Units is 90.
Common scenarios for a mixed project type
The common scenarios are:
- When you use classification and an IXP unstructured project.
- When you use multiple extractors.
- When you use classification and multiple extractors.
The following sections describe these scenarios.
Classification and an IXP unstructured project
The following table provides an example of the consumed units when using classification and an IXP unstructured project:
| Input | Classification | Extraction | Extraction | AI Units consumed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50-page document | Modern | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | N\A | 100 |
| 50-page document | Gen Class | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | N\A | 100 |
Multiple extractors
The following table provides an example of the consumed units when using multiple extractors:
| Input | Classification | Extraction | Extraction | AI Units consumed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50-page document | N\A | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | Modern | 100 |
| 50-page document | N\A | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | Classic project | 100 |
| 50-page document | N\A | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | 100 |
Classification and multiple extractors
The following table provides an example of the consumed units when using classification and multiple extractors:
| Input | Classification | Extraction | Extraction | AI Units consumed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50-page document | Modern | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | Modern | 100 |
| 50-page document | Gen Class | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | Classic project | 150 |
| 50-page document | IKC | IXP Unstructured and complex documents (30 pages) | Modern project (20 pages) | 51 |
