Product: StatementBear statement parsing API, $0.49 per document, 25 free.

---

$0.49 per document that parses, with the first 25 free. No seats, no minimum, no platform fee.

## What counts as one document

One file you send us. A PDF holding four accounts is one document. Six months of statements in one PDF is one document. We charge per file, not per account, month, page or transaction.

## What is billable

| Response | Billable | Counts against the monthly cap |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `200`, parsed | Yes, $0.49 | Yes |
| `200`, replayed from an idempotency key | No | No |
| `422` not a bank statement | No | No |
| `500` our failure | No | No |
| `402`, `401`, `400`, `405`, `409`, `413`, `415`, `429` | No | No |

> **Failed parses cost nothing**
>
> A failure on our side is free and takes nothing off your allowance. A `422` is free because the file was not a statement.

## The free allowance

The first 25 parsed documents on an organisation are free and need no payment method. The pool is counted rather than timed, so it does not expire while you are still evaluating, and adding a card later does not forfeit what is left.

## How you are billed

- Usage is invoiced monthly to the card on file. Nothing to pre-purchase, no credit to top up.
- A retry cannot charge you twice for one document as long as it carries the same `Idempotency-Key`. See [Idempotency and retries](https://statementbear.com/docs/idempotency).
- The [console](https://statementbear.com/dashboard/api) shows the running count for the month and the usage log behind it.
- `X-Billable-Documents` is on every response, so you can reconcile against your own count.

## If a payment fails

Your integration keeps working. Recovery runs for weeks before anything changes. Only a cancelled account is refused, with `402 canceled`, and its keys are kept so reactivating needs no redeploy.

## Volume

The list price holds at any volume you can reach self-serve. Above that, email [api@statementbear.com](mailto:api@statementbear.com) with the number.
