    Hi Austin! Unfortunately not. Please look at the following table from the Microsoft AI Builder pricing (I downloaded it in September 2022, might be outdated for future readers):

    I assume you are using a form processing model, which costs 500 credits a page. 50 pages would mean a minimum of 25000 credits is required. So unfortunately it wouldn't be sufficient 😞

    So I built this template that processes any document just using the less expensive image recognition AI Builder service & GPT.

    It seems much less expensive with a much lower barrier to entry only requiring a premium Power Automate license with 5000 AI Builder credits per month & some on-going LLM / GPT costs…

    If I’m looking at this right, this method should cost 

    Image recognition +.0017

    GPT prompt & output +.007

    Flow actions +.00375

    So about $ .013 per page.

    Less expensive than any of the other microsoft document/receipt/invoice processing options. And several of those take about 30 seconds to run. 
    And the 5000 AI Builder credits that come with the now $15 premium Power Automate license is enough for 1500 Image recognition pages. So you could probably process 500-750 documents per month with just 1 premium Power Automate license.


    So it seems this method is faster, less expensive, easier to adjust, & requires less set-up than other standard AI builder set-ups.

    Once the GPT actions are in general availability, I don’t know why I’d use any of the other services. 🤷‍
