Amazon Bedrock Data Automation bills per page: $0.010 for Standard Output and $0.040 for Custom Output with a blueprint of 30 fields or fewer, plus $0.0005 a page for every field above 30. That makes Custom Output four times the price of Textract Analyze Expense for the same invoice job, in the same AWS account.

The rates themselves are simple. Getting to a number you can defend in a budget review is not, because AWS publishes the prices inside worked examples rather than a rate card, and because the cheapest way to read a page costs 50 times less than the most expensive one.
AWS does not publish a Data Automation price table. The per page rates appear inside six numbered pricing examples buried in the Bedrock pricing page. If you skim, you will miss the field surcharge entirely, because it only appears as arithmetic inside example 2.
A blueprint with 30 fields or fewer bills at $0.040 a page. Field 31 onward adds $0.0005 a page each. That is $0.50 per 1,000 pages per field, and an invoice schema with remit-to details, tax breakdowns and line-item attributes crosses 30 fields easily.
Standard Output costs a quarter of Custom Output and is tempting for that reason, but it returns automated document analysis rather than the named fields you defined. Picking it to save money and then discovering it does not return your schema is an expensive detour.
Detect Document Text, Analyze Document Forms, Analyze Expense, BDA Standard Output and BDA Custom Output all read a page and all charge differently, from $1.50 to $75 per 1,000 pages. Choosing wrong is a 50x mistake and nothing in the console warns you.
Textract publishes a three month free tier including 100 Analyze Expense pages a month. The Bedrock pricing page publishes nothing equivalent for Data Automation, so your evaluation starts on the meter from the first call.
BDA is infrastructure, not a product. The bill you can forecast is the page charge. The bill you cannot is authoring and versioning blueprints, handling async jobs, building an exception queue, and the accountant who still checks the output.
Read from Amazon own pricing examples on aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing on 2026-08-18, US West (Oregon) rates.
Documents processed with the predefined modality defaults cost one cent a page, or $10 per 1,000 pages. AWS example 3 confirms it: 1,000 pages of Standard Output through the Knowledge Bases integration totals $10. This mode returns document analysis, not a schema you defined.
A blueprint with 30 fields or fewer bills at four cents a page, or $40 per 1,000 pages. AWS example 1: 1,000 pages through a 15-field blueprint costs $40. This is the mode you use when you need invoice fields shaped to your own schema.
Every blueprint field above 30 adds half a tenth of a cent per page. A 40-field blueprint bills at $0.045, a 60-field blueprint at $0.055. Across 1,000 pages each extra field is $0.50, so a 60-field schema costs 37.5 percent more than a 30-field one.
Custom Output on images costs half a cent per image at 30 fields or fewer, with the identical $0.0005 per extra field rule. AWS example 5: 1,000 images on a 10-field blueprint is $5.00, and 1,000 images on a 40-field blueprint is $10.00.
Standard Output on video is five cents a minute and audio is six tenths of a cent a minute. AWS example 4: a 60 minute video costs $3.00. Example 6: 15,000 minutes of meeting audio costs $90. These are the rates that make BDA attractive beyond documents.
The invoice-specific Textract API costs one cent a page for the first million pages and $0.008 after, with OCR included. It returns invoice and receipt fields plus line items out of the box, which makes it a quarter the price of a BDA blueprint for the same job.
This turns per page rates into an annual figure you can put in front of a finance team, engineering time included.
BDA meters per page. Pull a real month of files and take the actual average page count rather than estimating from invoice volume. A team at 900 invoices a month averaging 2.4 pages is buying 2,160 page-units.
Tip: Scanned invoices with a remittance stub or terms page often run 3 pages, not 1.
Write out the schema you actually need, header fields and line-item attributes together. Anything above 30 fields adds $0.0005 per page each, which is $0.50 per 1,000 pages per field.
Tip: Price the same job on Standard Output too. It is a quarter of the cost if you do not need a named schema.
Add integration, blueprint iteration, async job handling and an exception queue to the page charge. Then price the same annual volume on a flat plan and compare the totals, not the per page rates.
Tip: At 30,000 pages a year BDA Custom Output is $1,200 in page charges alone, before any engineering.
BDA is excellent infrastructure. Whether it is the right line on your budget depends entirely on who is doing the work.
If your data, your IAM policies and your billing already live in AWS, BDA keeps document processing inside the same boundary. For a lot of enterprise procurement reviews that settles the question before price is discussed at all.
A blueprint returns the fields you defined, not the fields Amazon decided an expense document has. If your vendors bury a project code or GL hint somewhere a prebuilt model will never look, the 4x premium over Analyze Expense buys you something real.
Documents, images, video and audio on one meter is genuinely useful. If you are transcribing calls at $0.006 a minute and reading contracts on the same platform, consolidating on BDA is worth more than the per page difference on invoices.
If invoices are the whole job and the people doing it are bookkeepers rather than engineers, BDA has no interface for them. Every change to what you capture becomes a code change. A flat plan at $9.60 per 1,000 pages does the same work today.
Last updated August 2026. Every rate on this page was read from Amazon's own published pricing examples on aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing and aws.amazon.com/textract/pricing on 2026-08-18. Rates shown are US West (Oregon).
Amazon Bedrock Data Automation charges per page for documents. Standard Output costs $0.010 per page, which is $10 per 1,000 pages. Custom Output, where you define a blueprint with your own schema, costs $0.040 per page for any blueprint with 30 fields or fewer, which is $40 per 1,000 pages, plus $0.0005 per page for every field above 30. There is no seat, no subscription and no published free allowance for Data Automation.
BDA prices each modality separately. Documents and images are billed per unit, video and audio per minute.
| Modality | Output type | Rate | Per 1,000 units |
|---|---|---|---|
| Documents | Standard Output | $0.010 per page | $10.00 |
| Documents | Custom Output, 30 fields or fewer | $0.040 per page | $40.00 |
| Documents | Custom Output, above 30 fields | $0.040 plus $0.0005 per extra field | $40.00 plus $0.50 per extra field |
| Images | Custom Output, 30 fields or fewer | $0.005 per image | $5.00 |
| Images | Custom Output, above 30 fields | $0.005 plus $0.0005 per extra field | $5.00 plus $0.50 per extra field |
| Video | Standard Output | $0.050 per minute | $50.00 per 1,000 minutes |
| Audio | Standard Output | $0.006 per minute | $6.00 per 1,000 minutes |
AWS states these in its own worked examples rather than in a rate card, which is why they are easy to miss. Example 1 on the Bedrock pricing page: 1,000 pages through a 15-field blueprint costs $40. Example 3: 1,000 pages through Standard Output costs $10. Example 4: a 60 minute video costs $3.00. Example 6: 15,000 minutes of meeting audio costs $90.
This is the part of Bedrock Data Automation pricing that catches people out. The $0.040 page rate holds only while your blueprint has 30 fields or fewer. Field 31 and every field after it adds $0.0005 per page. It sounds tiny. Across 1,000 pages each extra field is $0.50, and an invoice schema grows fast once you add remit-to details, tax breakdowns, PO references and line-item attributes.
| Blueprint fields | Price per page | Per 1,000 pages | Increase vs 30 fields |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 or fewer | $0.0400 | $40.00 | baseline |
| 40 | $0.0450 | $45.00 | +12.5% |
| 50 | $0.0500 | $50.00 | +25.0% |
| 60 | $0.0550 | $55.00 | +37.5% |
| 80 | $0.0650 | $65.00 | +62.5% |
| 100 | $0.0750 | $75.00 | +87.5% |
AWS confirms the mechanic in its example 2: a 40-page document on a 20-field blueprint bills at $0.040 a page for $1.60, while a 10-page document on a 40-field blueprint bills at $0.045 a page for $0.45. Two documents, two rates, one API call pattern. Count your fields before you budget, and count them again after the first schema review, because that is when they grow.
Both services live in the same AWS account and both read invoices. They do not cost the same. This is the comparison worth running before you pick one.
| AWS service and mode | Rate per page | Per 1,000 pages | What you get back |
|---|---|---|---|
| Textract Detect Document Text | $0.0015 (first 1M) | $1.50 | Raw text and handwriting, no structure |
| Textract Analyze Expense | $0.010 (first 1M), $0.008 after | $10.00 | Invoice and receipt fields plus line items, OCR included |
| BDA Standard Output | $0.010 | $10.00 | Automated document analysis, not invoice fields |
| BDA Custom Output, 30 fields | $0.040 | $40.00 | Your own schema, exactly the fields you define |
| BDA Custom Output, 60 fields | $0.055 | $55.00 | Your own schema, larger |
| Textract Analyze Document, Forms | $0.050 (first 1M) | $50.00 | Generic key-value pairs, not invoice-aware |
The headline: Bedrock Data Automation Custom Output costs four times Textract Analyze Expense for the same invoice-field job, in the same AWS account. $40 per 1,000 pages against $10. BDA Standard Output matches Analyze Expense at $10, but it returns document analysis rather than named invoice fields, so it is not a like-for-like substitute.
That does not make BDA the wrong choice. Analyze Expense returns the fields Amazon decided an expense document has. A BDA blueprint returns the fields you decided your documents have, which matters when your vendors put a project code or a GL hint somewhere Analyze Expense will never look for it. You are paying a 4x premium for schema control. Decide whether you need it before you pay for it.
Documents only, Custom Output with a 30-field blueprint, which is the realistic invoice setup.
| Pages per month | BDA Custom Output | BDA Standard Output | Textract Analyze Expense |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | $40 | $10 | $10 |
| 2,500 | $100 | $25 | $25 |
| 10,000 | $400 | $100 | $100 |
| 50,000 | $2,000 | $500 | $500 |
| 100,000 | $4,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 |
Two things to add before you compare this to a SaaS quote. First, none of these numbers include the engineering to call the API, author and version blueprints, handle async jobs, validate output and move data into your accounting system. Second, none of them include the cost of a human checking the result, which on invoice work is usually the larger number.
The Bedrock pricing page publishes no free allowance for Data Automation. That is a real difference from Textract, which does publish one: new AWS customers get three months with 100 Analyze Expense pages a month, 1,000 Detect Document Text pages a month and 100 Analyze Document pages a month on the forms and tables features. If you want to trial invoice extraction on AWS at zero cost, Textract is the door that is open.
Bedrock Data Automation is a strong fit if you already run on AWS, you have engineers, your documents span several modalities, and you need output shaped to a schema you control. It sits inside your VPC boundary and your existing IAM and billing, which for a lot of enterprise procurement teams settles the question on its own.
It is the wrong fit if invoices are the whole job and the people doing that job work in accounting rather than engineering. There is no interface. Every change to what you capture is a code change and a blueprint version. If what you want is to drop a folder of PDF invoices in and get an Excel or CSV file back with the header fields and every line item, a flat plan is both cheaper and immediate: $288 a year covers 30,000 pages, about $9.60 per 1,000, against $40 per 1,000 on BDA Custom Output before any engineering time.
Upload an invoice at the top of this page and compare the extracted fields against what your BDA blueprint returns. That is a fifteen second test and it settles the build-versus-buy argument faster than a spreadsheet does.
Bedrock Data Automation costs $0.010 per page for Standard Output on documents and $0.040 per page for Custom Output with a blueprint of 30 fields or fewer. Fields above 30 add $0.0005 per page each. Images are $0.005 each on Custom Output, video is $0.050 per minute and audio is $0.006 per minute.
$0.010 per page for Standard Output and $0.040 per page for Custom Output at 30 fields or fewer. That is $10 and $40 per 1,000 pages. A 60-field blueprint costs $0.055 per page, or $55 per 1,000 pages, because each field above 30 adds $0.0005.
Not for invoices. Textract Analyze Expense costs $0.010 per page and returns invoice fields and line items with OCR included. BDA Custom Output costs $0.040 per page, four times as much, for the same job. BDA Standard Output matches Analyze Expense at $0.010 but returns document analysis rather than named invoice fields.
Any blueprint with 30 fields or fewer bills at the base rate, $0.040 per page for documents or $0.005 per image. Every field above 30 adds $0.0005 per page or per image. AWS applies the rate per blueprint, so a 20-field blueprint and a 40-field blueprint used in the same batch bill at $0.040 and $0.045 respectively.
The Bedrock pricing page publishes no free allowance for Data Automation. Amazon Textract does publish one: three months for new AWS customers with 100 Analyze Expense pages a month plus larger allowances on Detect Document Text. If you want a zero-cost AWS trial on invoices, start with Textract.
AWS offers a general Pricing Calculator, but the fastest estimate is arithmetic: annual pages multiplied by $0.040, plus $0.50 per 1,000 pages for every blueprint field above 30. At 10,000 pages a month with a 30-field blueprint that is $400 a month, or $4,800 a year, before engineering time.
At Custom Output with a 30-field blueprint, 1 million pages costs $40,000. Standard Output on the same volume costs $10,000. Textract Analyze Expense costs $10,000 for the first million pages and drops to $0.008 per page after that, so a second million costs $8,000 rather than $10,000. BDA publishes no volume tier.
Yes, if you define them in the blueprint. Unlike Textract Analyze Expense, which returns the line-item structure Amazon designed, BDA returns whatever schema you specify, which is the reason to pay the 4x premium. You are responsible for authoring, testing and versioning that schema against real vendor invoices.
Bedrock Data Automation costs $0.010 per page for Standard Output on documents and $0.040 per page for Custom Output with a blueprint of 30 fields or fewer. Fields above 30 add $0.0005 per page each. Images are $0.005 each on Custom Output, video is $0.050 per minute and audio is $0.006 per minute.
It is $0.010 per page for Standard Output and $0.040 per page for Custom Output at 30 fields or fewer, which is $10 and $40 per 1,000 pages. A 60-field blueprint costs $0.055 per page, or $55 per 1,000 pages, because each field above 30 adds $0.0005.
