The licensing information on this page applies to you if you are on Flex. If you are on Unified Pricing Plan, refer to the IXP Unified Pricing Plan.
Platform plans
The following table shows the features available in UiPath® IXP based on the Platform plan:
| Feature | Feature description | Enterprise Trial | 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 Plan). | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Unstructured and complex documents | Access to the Unstructured and complex documents capability. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
To enable the IXP service, AI Units are required in addition to the Flex Pricing Plan licenses.
Moving from a Flex Pricing Plan to a Unified Pricing Plan
When moving from a Flex Pricing Plan to a Unified Pricing Plan, user licensing is enforced under Unified Pricing. For details on which user licenses provide access to IXP, refer to User licenses.
If you cannot access IXP after moving to a Unified Pricing Plan, you need at least a Basic license to access the service. Unlicensed organization or tenant administrators can only access the administration and manage access features.
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 as follows:
- Communications Mining: 1 AI Unit per message uploaded, modified, or predicted.
- Unstructured and complex documents: IXP charges per page at runtime for extraction, with no charge at design time. Digitization is free.
As IXP models continuously retrain, and predictions automatically update, you are not charged on a per-prediction basis, but per message uploaded for Communications Mining, and per page processed at runtime for Unstructured and complex documents.
For Unstructured and complex documents, extraction is charged per page as follows:
| Operation | AI Units per page |
|---|---|
| Extraction (with prior classification) | 0.8 |
| Extraction (without prior classification) | 1 |
You never pay more than 1 AI Unit per page for extraction, and the rate is the same regardless of which extractor you use.
Generative Validation consumes an additional AI Unit per page.
If multiple extractors are applied to the same page, each extraction is counted separately and charged at 0.8 AI Units, or 1 AI Unit without prior classification.
Using Document Understanding classification with IXP extraction
Document Understanding and IXP licenses can be used together. You can classify a document with a Document Understanding modern project classifier and then extract data with an IXP model, with no additional AI Unit cost per page.
The page is charged for classification (0.2 AI Units) and extraction with prior classification (0.8 AI Units), with a total of 1 AI Unit per page.
For more details on Document Understanding licensing, refer to Metering and charging logic (Flex Plan).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IXP | Communications Data (Communications Mining) | Per message uploaded, modified or predicted | Classification and extraction | 1 |
| IXP | Unstructured and Complex Documents project | Per page at runtime, no charge at design time | Extraction (with prior classification) | 0.8 |
| IXP | Unstructured and Complex Documents project | Per page at runtime, no charge at design time | Extraction (without prior classification) | 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) | 0.2 | 10 |
| Unstructured document | Extraction (IXP Unstructured and complex documents) | 0.8 | 40 |
In this case, the total amount of consumed AI Units is 50.
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) | 0.2 | 8 |
| Doctor's letter | Extraction (IXP Unstructured & complex documents – doctor's letter) | 0.8 | 32 |
| Invoice | Classification (Generative classifier or Modern classifier) | 0.2 | 2 |
| Invoice | Extraction (IXP Modern extractor - invoices) | 0.8 | 8 |
In this case, the total amount of consumed AI Units is 50.
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 | 50 |
| 50-page document | Gen Class | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | N\A | 50 |
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 | 90 |
| 50-page document | Gen Class | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | Classic project | 100 |
| 50-page document | IKC | IXP Unstructured and complex documents (30 pages) | Modern project (20 pages) | 51 |
