Which plan to pickPro is the only option short of Enterprise, so use the 14-day trial to run one real job end to end and watch the credit meter. If it comes in under 20,000 credits a month, you are set.Core is enough for most small businesses, and 10,000 credits goes a long way when routers and error handlers are free. Move to Pro if a failed run costs you money and you want priority execution and better logs.Use Free to prove it can read your documents, then pick the plan that matches your monthly page count. Starter is where the cost per page becomes reasonable; yearly billing knocks roughly a quarter off.
