Cloud Vision pricing
The Vision API provides a set of features for analyzing images. Acrossthese scenarios, we enable you to pay only for what you use with no upfrontcommitments.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency onCloud Platform SKUsapply.
Prices
Charges are incurred per image. For files with multiple pages, such asPDF files, each page is treated as an individual image.
Each feature applied to an image is a billableunit. For example, if youapply Face Detection and Label Detection to the same image, you are billedfor one unit of Label Detection and one unit for Face Detection.
The table below shows the price for each feature per 1000 units. Pricing istiered - the first 1000 units used each month are free, units 1001 to 5,000,000are priced as marked, etc.
The final 1000-unit block is prorated out of 1000 units.

Example
If your application made the following requests in a particular month:
- 700 images with label detection
- 5300 images with landmark detection
Your cost would be:
- $0 for 700 label detection requests.
- $0 for the first 1000 landmark detection requests.
- $6.45 for the remaining 4300 landmark detection requests. Pricing is calculated in 1000-request blocks with the final request block prorated out of 1000. For example, exactly 4000 requests is priced at (4 * $1.50) . Any number of requests between 4001 and 5000 (including the 4300 requests in this example) moves the total into the next (5th) block of 1000 and is priced at (300/1000 * 1.50), adding another $0.45 to the existing cost and bringing the total cost to $6.45.
Total cost is $6.45.
