A dollar per page? :O

[mike_d]

Yeah, this will never take off unless they can get pricing below 1c per call.

Manual data entry for an _entire page_ of text is about 15c, or 10c at volume.

Maybe the plan is to compete on latency? Say someone wants to regularly extract content from the same kind of document, and wants it fast, like 500 milliseconds.

[purplecats]

perhaps its cheaper than paying for 401k/benefits etc

[djohnston]

generally people doing these sorts of tasks arent full time employees, rather contractors

We have startup plans that start free and runs at 10 cents/page after volume discounts. We also offer prices in local currencies. Happy to work on a deal that works for you.

We are a pure AI company, i.e. there is no human-in-the-loop. We are and strive to be more accurate than manual labor, and our processing time is 1 second rather than minutes-to-hours. Also our AI is naturally unbiased and does not discriminate.

In that case, shouldn't it a fraction of a penny rather than a whole dollar? Automation is supposed mean lower costs.

[aabhay]

That’s more expensive than manual data entry!

And has a 1 second response. That is worth something.

But not a dollar.

Appreciate the feedback. How much do you think would be fair?

[woadwarrior01]

The pricing makes me wonder if it's an AAI (Artificial Artificial Intelligence) service?

[eejjjj82]

with this pricing model I'd expect they're just reselling something like the GCP OCR APIs, most likely with some domain specific value adds

[alierkurt]

yes but we have to cover the costs as well :) we're flexible on pricing based on the volumes. what you see there differs based on the needs but we always aim to find a common price point for all parties.
