Pricing
Pay-as-you-go, no upfront investment, no long-term contract. Three quality tiers, transparent per-page pricing.
This SaaS service is for clients who want to start without investment: no GPU hardware, no upfront licence, no maintenance. Our cloud prices per page are higher than our desktop alternative BIQE AI HTR Heritage because hosting, GPU and LLM costs are included. For volumes above ±10,000 pages per month, desktop may be more attractive — we're happy to advise which variant fits.
Three quality tiers
Each tier uses a different LLM behind the scenes. What works best for your material depends on language, period and legibility of the source. During the pilot we help you choose.
| Tier | Speed | Price per page | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheap | ~2 seconds | €0,01 | Routine transcription of reasonably legible material such as 20th-century administrative documents and letters. |
| Balanced | ~3 seconds | €0,03 | Recommended for most use cases. 17th–19th century Dutch, English or German handwriting. Diaries, minutes, registers. |
| Best | ~10 seconds | €0,08 | Difficult cursive script, rare scripts, archival-quality work where maximum accuracy is needed. |
All prices exclude VAT. Billed monthly based on actual usage.
