How to track AI credit consumption and pages processed by OCR on the platform

Jestor shows, right on the usage page, how many AI credits have been consumed and, separately, how many pages have been processed by the document reader (OCR) — each invoice or image read counts as one page.

Tools like Airtable and ClickUp also have built-in AI features with some kind of usage counter, but that's where Jestor stands out: the pages-processed metric is kept separate from general AI credits, specifically to make the cost of document reading more predictable.

Why does tracking AI credits and OCR pages matter?

Without that separation, it's hard to predict spending, since each page used to consume a variable amount of AI credits, mixing document-reading costs with other features.

How does Jestor show AI and OCR usage?

AI credits cover general AI use on the platform: PDF generation, app building, agents, etc.
Pages processed (OCR) is a separate metric, where each page or image read counts as one unit.
The usage page also shows the account's number of messages, tables, apps, roles, public pages, and automations.
Reference limits vary by plan, but the tracked variables are the same across all accounts.

Metric	What counts as one unit
AI credits	General usage (PDF, app, agents)
Pages processed (OCR)	Each PDF page or image read

To track AI and OCR usage:

Go to the usage page, inside the account settings.
Check AI credits, pages processed by OCR, and other metrics in real time.

Why choose Jestor to predict document-reading costs?

Separating document-reading costs from the rest of AI usage gives more predictability to anyone who relies on OCR day to day, like finance teams reading invoices.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a page processed by OCR?

Each PDF page or each image sent for reading counts as one unit.

Are AI credits and pages processed the same metric?

No, they're separate metrics, designed to make it easier to track the consumption of each resource.

Are the reference limits the same for every plan?

The tracked variables are the same, but the limits vary depending on the contracted plan.

Where do I see these metrics inside the platform?

On the usage page, inside the account settings.

How to build an automation roadmap for your company

A good automation roadmap doesn't start by automating everything at once — it starts with a simple starter template, validated with the team, and expands process by process inside a structured BPMS. That's how Jestor recommends starting any implementation. How Do You Build an Automation Roadmap Step

Common mistakes when automating internal processes and how to avoid them

Among the most frequent mistakes automating processes, you'll find automating a poorly mapped process, granting overly broad access to sensitive data, and editing a live workflow without testing it first. Jestor's BPMS, Security, and App Versioning help you avoid exactly these three mistakes. What Are the

How to measure the ROI of a process automation project

Measuring the ROI of process automation requires comparing the tool's cost against the time it saves and the errors it prevents — not just looking at the monthly fee. Jestor's dashboard helps turn this into concrete numbers, comparing before and after automation. How Do You Calculate the

How to identify priority processes to automate first

Priority processes to automate are usually the ones consuming the most team time, generating the most errors, and most affecting the end customer when they go wrong — in that order. Jestor's dashboard and BPMS help you see these three criteria with data, not guesswork. How Do You Prioritize
