IDP Software Pricing for 1,000–10,000 Employee Companies
The short answer
At mid-size volume, the extraction tier you need — not the vendor — decides the bill. Plain OCR costs about $1.50 per 1,000 pages everywhere. Structured field extraction costs $10 to $50 per 1,000 pages depending on the vendor and feature. List prices below are USD, read from vendor pricing pages on November 1, 2026 (Azure: East US pay-as-you-go).

What a mid-size company actually pays
Companies with 1,000 to 10,000 employees typically process tens of thousands to a few hundred thousand pages a month across AP invoices, contracts, HR forms and claims. Two worked examples at list price:
50,000 invoice pages a month (structured fields):
| Vendor and tier | Monthly cost |
|---|---|
| Azure prebuilt invoice model ($10) | $500 |
| Textract Queries ($15) | $750 |
| Reducto Extract ($20; batch $16) | $1,000 ($800 batch) |
| Google Form Parser ($30) | $1,500 |
| Textract Forms ($50) | $2,500 |
250,000 mixed pages a month (200,000 text-only + 50,000 custom extraction):
| Vendor | Text | Extraction | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Azure (Read + custom) | $300 | $1,500 | $1,800 |
| AWS Textract (text + Queries) | $300 | $750 | $1,050 |
| Google (OCR + Form Parser) | ~$299 | $1,500 | ~$1,799 |
| Reducto (Parse + Extract, batch) | $1,600 | $800 | $2,400 |
Textract Queries is the cheapest structured option on custom layouts if you can phrase each field as a question; Reducto costs more per page but returns schema-based JSON with citations, which cuts review time on messy documents.
Commitment tiers and volume breaks
- Azure sells monthly commitments: prebuilt models $900 for 100,000 pages (then $9 per 1,000) or $4,000 for 500,000; custom extraction $2,400 for 100,000 pages (then $24); Read $375 for 500,000 pages. Connected containers for disconnected sites are cheaper still (prebuilt $720 per 100,000).
- AWS Textract reprices after one million pages a month: text $0.60, tables $10, forms $40, all three plus Queries $55.
- Google drops Form Parser to $20 above one million pages and OCR to $0.60 above five million.
- Reducto gives $150 of free usage on Standard; volume discounts, zero data retention, a HIPAA BAA and EU/AU residency come with the custom-priced Growth plan.
- ABBYY Vantage and other low-code IDP suites are priced by quote, usually as annual page bundles.
The costs not on the pricing page
- Human review. Budget reviewer time for low-confidence fields; at mid-size volume it usually exceeds the API bill.
- Training. Azure bills custom model training per hour; Google custom extractors also incur training and hosting.
- Data handling. Storage, egress and a second region for data residency are billed by your cloud, not the IDP vendor.
- Integration. Connecting extraction to ERP, case management or Power Automate is a one-time project, often larger than a year of API spend.
