How much does resume parsing cost?
Compare 14 AI models for resume parsing. Prices shown at 10K calls/month with default token counts.
Data extraction tasks parse unstructured text into structured output like JSON formats. Input includes the raw document that the model processes for structured data. Output is compact and well-structured, keeping output token costs relatively low overall.
What drives resume parsing cost
Resumes are longer than invoices and less uniformly structured, so input runs higher while output stays compact. Like invoice parsing this is a bulk, latency-tolerant workload where the batch API discount applies to the entire request. The parsing instructions are identical across every candidate, which puts them squarely in the cached prefix.
