Pricing model with qualification tiers
Transparent list price — margin for qualified partners and integrators.
- List price Basic 3¢ / Premium 4¢ / Ultra 10¢ per page
- Partner tier (integrator) 40% margin — entry via the partner application
- Elite tier 70% margin — reachable from within the partner program, evaluated individually
The path to 70% goes through partnership: first become a partner (40%), then Elite qualification. This also applies to direct customers with their own volume.
The margin compensates integration, first-level support and solution ownership. Direct customers pay the same list price — nobody pays more because of the partner model.
Key differences
PaperOffice AI
- API-first + MCP-native (same Bearer as REST).
- Per-page / credits from 3¢ (Basic / Premium / Ultra).
- EU hosting, WORM/GoBD, legal hold and audit trail natively.
Three decision axes
1
Bounding boxes & sandwich PDF versus Konfuzio
Konfuzio: IDP plus full DMS with transparent per-page pricing. Find evidence, redact, validate — order versus Konfuzio: Versus Konfuzio (konfuzio), the first question is whether word/line geometry and a searchable sandwich PDF exist on the object. → Line boxes drive layout reconstruction on multi-column delivery notes. → Handwritten margin notes are tracked as regions, not noise.
2
One token for IDP, DMS, HITL, signature and MCP — difference vs Konfuzio
MCP and HITL on the same token — difference vs Konfuzio. Background removal stays a credit building block beside the voucher pipeline. Before that: Signature links are created on the object without opening a second vendor account.
3
Owned GPU hardware instead of Konfuzio vendor regions
Support and ops without three cloud consoles beside Konfuzio. Competitor quotas and region locks drop out as an ops risk. Partners can deliver first-level support without hyperscaler certification mandates.
