IXP overview guide
The following table shows the features available in UiPath® IXP based on the Platform plan:
| Feature | Feature description |
Free | Basic Trial | Standard Trial | Enterprise Trial | Basic | Standard | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Communications data (Communications Mining) | Access to Communications Mining capabilities, except for CMEK. For more details, check Metering and charging logic (Unified Pricing). | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Unstructured and complex documents | Access to the Unstructured and complex documents capability. | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
The following table shows which user licenses provide access to IXP:
| Unlicensed | Express | Basic | Plus | Pro |

| No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
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 0.2 Platform Units 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).
Platform Units consumption
This section outlines how metering and charging for Platform Units are determined based on the type of operation you perform:
| Product | Capability | Charge details | Activity or model | Platform Units consumed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intelligent Xtraction and Processing (IXP) | Communications Data (Communications Mining) | Per message uploaded, modified or predicted | Classification and extraction | 0.2 |
| Intelligent Xtraction and Processing (IXP) | Unstructured and Complex Document s project | Per page at run time, no charge at design time | Intelligent Extraction | 0.2 |
Metering scenarios
This section describes what happens when different projects are used together on the same document.
The following scenarios provide 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.
| Document type | Step | Platform Units consumed (per page) | Platform Units consumed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unstructured document | Classification (Generative classifier or Modern classifier) | 0.2 | 10 |
| Unstructured document | Extraction (IXP Unstructured and complex documents) | 0.2 | 10 |
In this case, the total amount of consumed Platform Units is 20.
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 | Platform Units consumed (per page) | Platform 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) | 0.2 | 8 |
| Invoice |
| 0.2 | 2 |
In this case, the total amount of consumed Platform Units is 18.
Common scenarios for a mixed project type
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 | Platform Units consumed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50-page document | Modern | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | N\A | 20 |
| 50-page document | Gen Class | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | N\A | 20 |
Multiple extractors
The following table provides an example of the consumed units when using multiple extractors:
| Input | Classification | Extraction | Extraction | Platform Units consumed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50-page document | N\A | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | Modern | 20 |
| 50-page document | N\A | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | Classic project | 20 |
| 50-page document | N\A | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | 20 |
Classification and multiple extractors
The following table provides an example of the consumed units when using classification and multiple extractors:
| Input | Classification | Extraction | Extraction | Platform Units consumed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50-page document | Modern | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | Modern | 20 |
| 50-page document | Gen Class | IXP Unstructured and complex documents | Classic project | 30 |
| 50-page document | IKC | IXP Unstructured and complex documents (30 pages) | Modern project (20 pages) | 10.2 |
