Pricing and limits

What a job costs

A conversion costs $0.02 and includes five minutes of work. Each minute past that costs $0.01.

A job counts the smaller of its number of inputs and its number of outputs. A PDF made into 12 page pictures is one conversion, and so are three files joined into one. Three files converted one by one are three.

A job that fails or that you cancel costs nothing if it ran for less than a minute. If it ran for a minute or more, it costs $0.02, however many files it had.

Balance

A new account gets $2 of conversions, good for 90 days. Top up from $10 to $5,000 at a time on the billing page of the dashboard. A top-up never expires.

Each job sets aside what it can cost when it starts and settles when it ends. When the balance cannot cover it, the request fails with insufficient_balance, HTTP 402 or exit code 5, and the message has the cost, the balance and the link to top up.

An owner can also give a project a monthly spend limit on its settings page. A job that would take the project past it fails the same way, and the message has what the project spent and the link to raise the limit. The month starts on the 1st in UTC.

Plus, coming soon, is $30 a month for $30 of conversions, with the higher limits below. See pricing.

Plan limits

The limits rise after your first top-up. They hold for the whole organization.

Past a limit a job fails before it runs: concurrency_limit for jobs at once, too_large for a file or for too many outputs, and storage_limit for uploads. cv waits and tries again within --wait when too many jobs are running. Delete uploads you no longer need to make room.
