What are credits?

Instill Credits are the units used to pay for AI processing - reading documents, retrieving information, and generating analysis.

How credits work?

  • Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance

  • Credits are consumed when documents are uploaded and parsed, or when the Agent processes queries

  • Credit usage varies by document length, layout complexity, and content type

Typical usage

  • ~180 credits per page with Max-Fidelity Parsing

  • Simpler documents cost less; complex layouts cost more
