Nanonets pricing is usage based: every account starts with $50 in free credits, then the Starter plan is $100 a month for 100 credits, and Growth and Enterprise are quoted with volume discounts of up to 40%. You spend credits per block run, at $0.02 for simple steps, $0.10 for standard AI and $0.30 for complex AI such as data extraction. Nanonets says a typical invoice workflow runs 4 to 6 blocks, which puts one invoice somewhere between about $0.32 and $1.80.
Those figures come from Nanonets' own pricing page, checked on September 27, 2026. Below are the plans, how a block run turns into a cost per invoice, what an accounts payable team at 250, 1,000, 3,000 and 10,000 invoices a month would pay, and when a flat invoice plan works out cheaper.
Nanonets plans and prices
| Plan | Price | Users | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $50 in free credits, then $100 a month for 100 credits | Up to 3 | Data extraction AI, API access, email integration, cloud storage connectors, community support |
| Growth | Quote, up to 40% volume discount | Not published | Classification AI, barcode and signature detection, generative AI blocks, custom Python blocks, ERP and database integrations, analytics, team-wide credit sharing |
| Enterprise | Custom | Not published | SAML SSO and SCIM, role-based access, HIPAA and SOC 2, private cloud or on-prem, data residency, SAP, Oracle and Salesforce connectors, SLAs |
Nanonets markets this as "no platform fees, no seat licenses," and that is accurate: you pay for runs, not people. Credits are shared across the team and, per the FAQ, never expire. That last point is a genuine advantage over tools where unused pages vanish at the end of the month.
How much does Nanonets cost per invoice?
Nanonets charges per block run, and an invoice runs several blocks. A lean workflow with one extraction block ($0.30) and one export step ($0.02) costs $0.32 per invoice. A fuller one with extraction, validation ($0.10), classification ($0.10) and two formatting or export steps ($0.04) costs about $0.54. Nanonets' own worst case, six complex blocks, is $1.80.
The block list is where the price hides. Classification AI and ERP integrations are Growth features, so a Starter workflow tends to be the lean one, and a Growth workflow that posts to your ERP adds runs. Ask the sales team to price your exact workflow, block by block, before you compare it with anything.
| Block tier | Price per run | Examples Nanonets gives |
|---|---|---|
| Simple operations | $0.02 | Formatting, routing, export |
| Standard AI | $0.10 | Classification, validation |
| Complex AI | $0.30 | Data extraction, generative AI |
What 250 to 10,000 invoices a month cost on Nanonets
Here is the list-price cost at the lean ($0.32) and fuller ($0.54) workflow rates. Growth discounts of up to 40% would bring the right-hand columns down, but that figure is a ceiling Nanonets advertises, not a rate you can count on.
| Invoices per month | Lean workflow, $0.32 | Fuller workflow, $0.54 | Fuller workflow at 40% off |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250 | $80 | $135 | $81 |
| 1,000 | $320 | $540 | $324 |
| 3,000 | $960 | $1,620 | $972 |
| 10,000 | $3,200 | $5,400 | $3,240 |
Notice that the Starter plan's 100 credits cover roughly 185 invoices at $0.54 or about 310 at $0.32. Above that you are buying more credits or talking to sales about Growth.
Is Nanonets cheaper than a flat invoice plan?
Only at low volume. Per-run pricing is cheap when you process a few dozen invoices, and it gets expensive fast because every invoice pays for every block. A flat plan works the other way: you pay the same monthly price whether you use half the allowance or all of it.
For comparison, our own plans are priced by page. Starter is $49 a month with 2,500 Base pages and 500 Pro pages for one seat. Plus is $149 a month with 10,000 Base pages, up to three seats and QuickBooks Online export. Pro starts at $499 a month for 35,000 pages with API access and five seats. Most supplier invoices are one or two pages, so assume 1.5 pages per invoice for a rough match.
| Invoices per month | Nanonets, list price | PayablesAgent plan that covers it |
|---|---|---|
| 250 | $80 to $135 | Starter, $49 |
| 1,000 | $320 to $540 | Plus, $149 |
| 3,000 | $960 to $1,620 | Plus, $149 (about 4,500 pages) |
| 10,000 | $3,200 to $5,400 | Pro 35K, $499 |
Base pages are for clean digital PDFs; scanned or handwritten invoices are better on Pro AI, where one Pro page uses five Base pages. If most of your invoices are phone photos of paper bills, size the plan on Pro pages instead. You can check which mode your documents need by uploading a few with the tool at the top of this page. The full plan side by side is on our Nanonets alternative comparison.
When Nanonets is worth the money
Nanonets is a general document automation platform, not an invoice tool, and that is where it earns its price.
You process many document types. Bills of lading, claims forms, purchase orders, IDs and contracts can all run through the same account and credits. If invoices are one stream among five, one platform beats five point tools. And if one of those other streams is commercial leases, purpose-built lease abstraction software will usually pull critical dates and rent schedules more reliably than a general workflow you build yourself.
You want to build the workflow. Custom Python blocks, routing and generative AI steps let an operations team design exactly what happens to each document. That flexibility is worth paying for if you have someone to maintain it.
You need enterprise controls. On-prem or private cloud deployment, data residency in the US, EU or APAC, HIPAA, and SAP, Oracle or Salesforce connectors are Enterprise features that most invoice tools do not offer at all.
Your volume is tiny or irregular. Fifty invoices a month on a lean workflow is about $16 in credits, and those credits do not expire. No flat plan beats that.
When a flat invoice plan is the better buy
If your documents are vendor invoices and receipts and the output is a spreadsheet or a QuickBooks bill, you do not need a workflow builder. You need the vendor, invoice number, dates, tax, totals and line items read correctly and exported. At 1,000 invoices a month, that is $149 on a flat plan against $320 to $540 on credits, and nobody on your team has to design blocks. Teams on QuickBooks Online can export straight into it; see invoice OCR for QuickBooks.
The same logic applies to other per-page and per-credit tools. Our Parseur pricing breakdown works through the same volumes, and the best OCR software for invoice processing roundup prices nine tools from their own pages.
Does Nanonets have a free plan?
Nanonets has a free start, not a free plan. Every account gets $50 in credits with no card required, which is enough for roughly 90 to 150 invoices depending on the workflow. After that, Starter is $100 a month for 100 credits. There is no permanently free tier for ongoing processing.
Do Nanonets credits expire?
No. Nanonets' FAQ says credits are prepaid usage, shared across your team, and never expire. That makes Nanonets forgiving for seasonal volume: credits bought in a slow month are still there at year end. Check your contract for Growth and Enterprise, where terms are negotiated.
What is a block in Nanonets pricing?
A block is one step in a Nanonets workflow: extracting data, classifying a document, formatting a field or posting to an integration. Each time a block runs on a document it counts as one run and is billed at its tier price, from $0.02 to $0.30. Your cost per document is the sum of the blocks in your workflow.
How much does Nanonets cost per month for a small business?
For a small business processing 100 to 300 invoices a month, Nanonets typically costs the $100 Starter subscription, with top-ups if a fuller workflow burns through 100 credits. At 300 invoices on a $0.54 workflow that is about $162 of runs. A flat $49 plan with 2,500 pages covers the same volume.
The practical test
Take last month's invoice count and multiply it by the cost of the workflow Nanonets quotes you, block by block. Then upload five of your hardest invoices, a long multi-page supplier bill, a scan and one with 30 line items, to the tool above and check the line items against the paper. If the extraction holds up and your documents are invoices, the flat plan is the cheaper way to buy it. If you need a platform for ten document types, Nanonets is the better fit, and now you know what it costs. Two other usage-priced options worth running the same math on are Docparser, priced per document credit, and Google Document AI, at $0.10 per invoice.
