What is a realistic monthly Cloud Vision OCR cost at typical traffic? #28

Trying to budget for the document pipeline. At 100 / 500 / 2000 uploads per day, with a mix of 70% text-layer PDFs, 20% image OCR, 10% scanned-PDF OCR — what should I expect Cloud Vision DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION to cost? Has anyone run the math? |

Pulled from the live Cloud Vision pricing — DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION is $1.50 per 1,000 units (1 page = 1 unit), with the first 1,000 units free every month. Math: at 100 uploads/day with 30% triggering OCR (avg 1.2 pages):
Formula: At assessment-traffic levels (under ~600 uploads/day) you stay under ~$10/mo. Above that, queue OCR-eligible uploads to a per-user soft cap if cost matters. |
