Provider prices can change. Use GET /v1/models and the cost fields returned by each request rather than relying on a static per-page estimate.
The six curated vision models are generally billed from input and output token usage. DocsRouter uses the provider's exact upstream request cost when available and applies a 5% platform fee.
Each OCR response reports:
provider_cost_centsplatform_fee_centstotal_cost_cents- token and page usage
Small requests can be affected by minimum charges and cent rounding.
Mistral OCR page pricing
The dedicated Mistral OCR parser has a direct provider price of $2 per 1,000 pages before the DocsRouter platform fee. It is separate from the six token-priced model IDs exposed by /v1/ocr.
Control cost explicitly
Use a specific supported model when you need predictable selection, or use the static cost policy. DocsRouter does not currently support a max_cost_per_page limiter, document-difficulty detection, or confidence-based escalation.
Estimate costs with representative documents, then enforce your own per-request and monthly budgets around the API.
