Auto-labeler pricing and payments

Auto-labeler pricing

There are a number of factors that affect the cost of an auto-labeler run:

  • The number of articles
  • The number of labels
  • Whether you are running the auto-label on citations only (i.e., title/abstract) or full text PDF
  • Which model you use

Model

Price per title/abstract

Price per full text

Gemini 2.5 Flash$0.01 USD$0.03 USD
OpenAI GPT-4o$0.04 USD$0.12 USD

Note that JSON lines and markdown are treated like a full text PDF regardless of length.

If the current run of a given auto-label is the same as, or overlaps with, any previous run (i.e. exact same label description and settings and same articles), you will not be charged again for that run.

Finally, if the auto-labeler fails for any number of articles, you will not be charged for those failed items. Simply, click Run Auto Label again, and that run will complete with no additional charge. 

When you set up an Auto-labeler run, Sysrev will provide a detailed breakdown of cost before you initiate the run. In this example, Sysrev provides a breakdown of cost based on the number of labels, the models being used, the number of articles that will be label, the number of articles that will return new labeled data and the number of articles returning cached (previously run) data at no cost.

How to pay for the Auto-labeler

To run the Auto-label, you need funds in your project. For users with an Enterprise account, the allotment of funds will be handled by your Sysrev administrator (e.g., the university library). For those with Premium accounts, you can add funds using a credit card. 

Premium and Enterprise accounts

Adding funds

First, go to your Sysrev account page by clicking on your username in the upper right hand corner. Click on the Billing tab. Change or update your credit card information as needed, then click on Purchase Credit. The amount added in the box is the US Dollar amount that will be charge to your credit card.

 

Setting a monthly limit for auto-labeler spending

You can set a monthly limit on the amount of Auto-label funds that are used from your overall available funds. This will prevent accidental overspending when using the Auto-label feature. Click on Change monthly limit to adjust and then click Save.

The Account Balance will show the total amount of funds you have in your account. The Available Funds indicates the amount you have available to spend at that moment in time. The Available Funds will be lower than the Account Balance if you set a monthly limit lower than the Account Balance. 

 

Allocating funds to projects

Once you have added funds to your account, you can now allocate those funds to any project in any organizations you own. To do so, navigate to the Organization containing the project by clicking the Organizations tab, then selecting the Organization name.

Once in the Organization, click on the Budgets tab. To add or adjust auto-labeler funds for a project, click on the gear icon next to the budget amount.

Note that this amount can be any amount, but the Available Funds will be limited by the limits you set in the Billing section of your user account (see above). 

You can also set a monthly cap at the project level by choosing Monthly cap in the Budget type column. Lifetime cap implies the total spending for a project regardless of the timeframe those funds are used. And Unlimited will allow spending up to the total amount of funds available from the user's account, taking into account any monthly limits that have been set.

Who can use the Auto-labeler?

For premium accounts, only the account owner can use the Auto-labeler. Collaborators with admin access will be able to view Auto-label results, view the Auto-label Report and edit labels. However, they will not be able to run the Auto-labeler.

For those with an Enterprise license, all users with administrative access to a project will be able to use and run the Auto-labeler. However, the amount of funds allowable per project and month will be controlled and administered by the either the Sysrev administrator at your institution or the project owner.
