Azure Form Recogniser pricing

Accelerate information extraction from documents

Form Recognizer learns the structure of your forms to intelligently extract text and data. It ingests text from forms, applies machine learning technology to identify keys and tables and then outputs structured data that includes the relationships within the original file. That way, you can extract information quickly, accurately and tailored to your specific content, without heavy manual intervention or extensive data science expertise.

Prices are estimates only and are not intended as actual price quotes. Actual pricing may vary depending on the type of agreement entered with Microsoft, date of purchase, and the currency exchange rate. Prices are calculated based on US dollars and converted using London closing spot rates that are captured in the two business days prior to the last business day of the previous month end. If the two business days prior to the end of the month autumn on a bank holiday in major markets, the rate setting day is generally the day immediately preceding the two business days. This rate applies to all transactions during the forthcoming month. Sign in to the Azure pricing calculator to see pricing based on your current programme/offer with Microsoft. Contact an Azure sales specialist for more information on pricing or to request a price quote. See frequently asked questions about Azure pricing.

Form Recognizer extracts key value pairs and tables from documents and includes the following options:

  • Customised Field Extraction – Document Intelligence learns the structure of your documents (invoices, contracts, statements, industry specific records) to intelligently extract fields, text and data. It ingests text from forms and documents to output structured data that includes the fields, tables and content. You can extract information quickly, accurately, and tailored to your specific content, without heavy manual intervention or extensive machine learning expertise.
  • Customised Classification/Splitting – Document Intelligence learns from your documents to intelligently classify them into different types. If a file consists of multiple documents of different types, it will also automatically identify document boundaries for further processing.
  • Prebuilt – Document Intelligence supports various prebuilt models for common document types. Detect and extract data from receipts, invoices, as well as tax forms, insurance, and health insurance cards using optical character recognition (OCR). Prebuilt models extract information to a defined schema.
  • Layout – Detect and extract text and structure (tables, titles, paragraphs, selection marks) from documents using OCR.

  • Document Intelligence is billed by pages analysed. When a document is submitted for analysis all pages are analysed unless a page range is specified with the "pages" parameter in the request.
  • Document Intelligence has a free tier (F0) that enables you to test all the Document Intelligence features.
  • Document Intelligence does not have a monthly/yearly subscription, but you can use the commitment-based pricing model for large workloads. See pricing details for additional details.
  • For training a custom template model, training is free. For training a custom neural model, it is free for the first 10 hours only. To allow customers to train a model with more data for longer period of time to achieve greater quality, if training hours exceed 10 hours, we will charge $3/hour extra for training custom neural models.
  • While you cannot separate the bills for different models being used, metrics by model type are available in the Azure portal on the metrics tab.
  • Container pricing is the same as cloud service pricing.
