Overview
AI units is the measure used to license AI products. AI units are charged based on consumption when the models are bringing value to you.

Metering and charging logic
This page includes specific information regarding to AI units depending on the used activity, covering the cost for every AI product. Two variables are considered when computing AI units:
- Input size
- Model used
Note: The formula to calculate the consumption is as follows: input size x unit cost of the model.
For example, the consumption for UiPath Custom Named Entity Recognition model with input size 5000 characters is as follows:
5000 characters = 3 units
Consumption: 3 units x 0.5 (unit cost) = 1.5 AI units
Input size
Model | Input type | Input unit | Computed input units |
|---|---|---|---|
Document Understanding models | Document | 1 page | Number of pages in the input document |
Computer Vision | Image | 1 image | Always 1 |
Task Mining | Dataset | 1 dataset | Always 1 |
Other models | JSON | 2000 characters = 1 unit | Ceil(length(input)/2000) |
File | 5 MB = 1 unit | Ceil(size/5MB) | |
Files | 5 MB = 1 unit | Ceil(sum(size(input))/5MB) |
Model used
Model | When we charge | Unit cost |
|---|---|---|
Document Understanding models | Per prediction | For a list of all Document Understanding models, check the Metering & Charging Logic page from the Document Understanding guide. |
Computer Vision | Per prediction | 0 |
Task Mining | Per successful pipeline | 5000 |
UiPath Light Text classifier | Per prediction | 0.2 |
UiPath Multilingual classifier | Per prediction | 0.5 |
UiPath Custom Named Entity Recognition | Per prediction | 0.5 |
Open Source packages | Per prediction | 0.1 |
Custom packages | Per prediction | 0.1 |
Note:
Except for Task Mining, running a pipeline or deploying an ML Skill does not consume AI units and does not require additional licenses.
License tracking
AI units are currently tracked under Document Understanding Pages bundles for all scenarios (Automation Suite and standalone environment, both offline or online).
Note: Legacy licenses, such as AI Robots, GPU, or Task Mining will still be displayed, although they are not consumed.
Scenario | API Key | License management | Where to track your consumption |
|---|---|---|---|
Enterprise on-premises deployed on AI CenterTM standalone | The API Key found under Licenses for your Document Understanding cloud account | API Key is required during AI Center installation and can be changed through ArgoCD if needed | Home>License Usage>Other Services>Document Understanding (requires Automation CloudTM account) |
Enterprise on-premises offline deployed on AI CenterTM standalone | N/A | License needs to be added to UiPath Orchestrator and distributed at tenant level | Tenant>License tab>UiPath Document Understanding card |
Enterprise on-premises deployed on Automation Suite | The API Key found under Licenses for your Document Understanding cloud account | License needs to be activated after Automation Suite installation | Home>License Usage>Other Services>Document Understanding |
Enterprise on-premises offline deployed on Automation Suite | The API Key found under Licenses for your Document Understanding cloud account | License needs to be activated after Automation Suite installation | Home>License Usage>Other Services>Document Understanding |
