LlamaParse vs Reducto Compared on Pricing, Accuracy and Invoice Extraction

The short answer on LlamaParse vs Reducto

For invoice field extraction, LlamaExtract costs $10 per 1,000 pages on its Cost-effective tier and $31.25 on Agentic, while Reducto Extract costs a flat $20 per 1,000 pages, parse included, or $16 in its batch queue. LlamaParse is cheaper if clean invoices pass on the low tier. Reducto is cheaper once you need agentic accuracy on every page, and it bills one number you can budget.

That is the whole decision for most teams, and it turns on one question you can only answer with your own documents: how many of your invoices need the expensive tier? If most of your vendors send clean digital PDFs, LlamaParse on Cost-effective is hard to beat. If you get scans, faxes and long tables, you will end up on Agentic, and at that point Reducto's flat Extract rate is about 36 percent lower.

How much does Reducto cost per page?

Reducto charges $10 per 1,000 pages for r-1 Parse and $20 per 1,000 pages for Extract, with parse included in the Extract rate. Deep Extract is $40, Split is $20, Classify is $7.50 and Edit is $60, or $15 when the form is prefilled. The batch queue takes 20 percent off Parse and Extract, so batched extraction is $16 per 1,000 pages.

The Standard plan is pay as you go with $150 of free usage, five Studio seats and 200 guaranteed concurrent pages. That free usage covers 7,500 Extract pages, which is enough for a real pilot. Growth is a custom quote with volume discounts, 350 concurrent pages, zero data retention, a BAA and EU or AU endpoints. Enterprise adds VPC and on-premises deployment and SSO. Reducto also advertises up to $5,000 in credits to migrate a workload from another provider.

How much does LlamaParse cost per page?

LlamaCloud bills credits at $1.25 per 1,000, and LlamaParse uses 1 credit a page on Fast, 3 on Cost-effective, 10 on Agentic and 45 on Agentic Plus. That works out to $1.25, $3.75, $12.50 and $56.25 per 1,000 parsed pages. Layout extraction adds 3 credits a page and enriched forms add 10.

LlamaExtract, the structured extraction product, bills its own tier on top of the default parse: Cost-effective is 5 plus 3, Agentic is 15 plus 10, Agentic Plus is 50 plus 10, and Turbo is a flat 35 with no parse step. Documents already parsed in the 48-hour cache bill only the extract part. The plans are Free with 10,000 credits, Starter at $50 a month with 40,000 credits and Pro at $500 a month with 400,000 credits. Because the plan fee equals the credits it buys, there is no volume discount until you negotiate an Enterprise contract.

LlamaParse vs Reducto pricing side by side

All figures are dollars per 1,000 pages at list price, from reducto.ai/pricing and the LlamaCloud pricing documentation.

What 1,000 to 50,000 invoice pages a month costs

A useful range to check is 2,500 to 50,000 invoice pages a month, which covers a small finance team up to a busy shared-services desk. Here is the list-price bill for structured extraction at three points in that range, next to a flat tool that returns the finished spreadsheet.

For comparison, InvoiceExtractor Starter is $49 a month for 2,500 pages and Plus is $149 a month for 10,000 pages, with header fields, line items and Excel, CSV and JSON exports included. You can also call it through the invoice data extraction API if you want JSON in your own system without writing a schema.

Is Reducto more accurate than LlamaParse?

There is no independent benchmark that answers this for invoices. Reducto publishes a table-extraction evaluation in which LlamaParse Premium trails Reducto, and says its r-1 model makes 20 percent fewer errors than its own previous pipeline. LlamaIndex publishes ParseBench, an evaluation set it designed. Each vendor wins its own test. Treat both as marketing until you have run your own invoices through each.

What we can say from the products themselves: Reducto returns citations that point each extracted value back to its location on the page, which helps when a reviewer has to check a total. LlamaExtract offers more tiers, so a team can route clean documents to the cheap tier and hard ones to Agentic, which is the only way it stays cheaper than Reducto on mixed invoice batches.

Which one is better for invoices?

Pick LlamaParse if your invoices are mostly digital PDFs, you already build on LlamaIndex, or you want the cheapest entry price. Pick Reducto if your invoices include scans and long tables, you want one flat rate, or reviewers need field-level citations. Pick neither if what you actually need is a spreadsheet of invoice rows and nobody on the team wants to own a parsing pipeline.

Both are general document parsers. They do not know what an invoice is until you write the schema, and they will not reconcile a line total against the invoice total unless you code it. Our invoice line item extraction already handles continuation rows, credit notes and multi-page invoices, and the output drops straight into your accounting import.

Security, compliance and deployment

LlamaCloud reports a completed SOC 2 Type II audit. If your invoices include protected health information, budget for the custom plan on either vendor, because neither self-serve plan includes a BAA.

When a finished invoice tool is cheaper than either API

The math changes once you count people. A parser API at $100 to $300 a month looks cheap next to a $149 subscription until an engineer spends two weeks on schema mapping, retries and an export path, then keeps maintaining it as vendors change their layouts. Below roughly 50,000 pages a month, that engineering time is the real cost of either API.

If you are still deciding on the API route, our Reducto pricing and LlamaParse pricing breakdowns go deeper on each rate card, and the Reducto alternative for invoice extraction guide covers the other options AP teams shortlist. If you would rather skip the build, upload an invoice at the top of this page and check the line items yourself.
