How it calculates
Low = scanned at the human rate + untagged and tagged-with-issues at the automated rate. High = scanned, untagged and tagged-with-issues at the human rate. Metadata-only and passing files count as $0. More detail in our remediation cost guide.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the default rates come from?
From published vendor prices in 2026: about $0.30–$3.50 per page automated and $4–$18 per page with a person. Replace them with your quotes.
How do I know my real mix?
Run your PDFs through PDF Triage — it tells you how many are scanned, untagged, tagged with issues or metadata-only.
