Platform Units charges per page

For Document Understanding modern projects 0.2 Platform Units are charged, regardless of the operations performed on a page at runtime or if multiple modern projects are used to extract data from the same page. This includes digitization operations - such as OCR - as well as extraction, or classification. This applies to all operations, encompassing both robotic process automation (RPA) and APIs operations.

Model training

There are no Platform Units charged when training and serving models. This means you can freely train models to improve performance, develop new capabilities, and experiment without concerns about incurring additional Platform Units charges.

Generative features

AI unit consumption depends on the versions of the activity packages and APIs used in your project. The consumption models are detailed in the sections that follow.

Activities version 24.12-preview and newer

This consumption model is applied when using PredefinedGenerative projects with the following:
  • IntelligentOCR newer than 6.23.2-preview.
  • DocumentUnderstanding.Activities newer than 2.13.2-preview.
  • Document Understanding API v1.1.

Consumption:

  • 0.2 Platform Units per processed page (includes Generative Classification and Generative Extraction)
Note: When enabled, Generative Validation adds 0.2 Platform Units, bringing the total consumption to 0.4 Platform Units per processed page.

Activities version older than 24.12-preview

This consumption model is applied when using:

  • IntelligentOCR up to 6.23.2-preview with PredefinedGenerative projects;
  • DocumentUnderstanding.Activities up to 2.13.2-preview with PredefinedGenerative projects;
  • Document Understanding API v1.0 with Predefined projects.

Platform Units consumption for generative features in activity versions older than 24.12-preview is detailed in the following table.

Generative featureConsumed Platform Units
Generative Classifier0.04 per operation
Generative Extraction0.24 per operation
Generative Validation0.2 per operation

For example, if you process a document using extraction and Generative Classifier, the consumption is 0.24 Platform Units per page.

Document Understanding activity packages

For the DocumentUnderstanding.Activities package, 0.2 Platform Unist are charged per page, regardless of the operations performed - whether it's digitization, extraction, or classification. This only applies when a pre-defined generative or modern project classifier or extractor is in use. If you use any other classifier or extractor, the respective consumption logic from the classic projects is added to the one Platform Unit per page.

For the InteligentOCR.Activities package, 0.2 Platform Units are charged per page, whether it's digitization, extraction, or classification. This only applies when a modern project classifier or extractor is in use. If you use any other classifier or extractor, the respective consumption logic from the classic projects is added to the one Platform Unit per page.
