192.0.2.10 (Staging app server)
[Your home IP] (Admin access)
Custom Domain
Feature: Use your own domain instead of VM IP address
Example:
- Instead of:
https://20.123.45.67 - Use:
https://docs.yourcompany.com
Setup Process:
-
Create DNS Record:
Type: A
Name: docs.yourcompany.com
Value: [Your VM IP]
TTL: 3600 -
Configure SSL Certificate:

Monthly Cost Scenarios
Scenario 1: GPT-4o mini only (maximum cost efficiency)
- 500 PDFs with GPT-4o mini
- 1,000 URLs with GPT-4o mini
- Total: 1,500 documents
Calculation:
Infrastructure: $295.00
Model costs: 1,500 × $0.0015 = $2.25
Total: $297.25/month
Cost per document: $0.20
Scenario 2: Balanced mix (recommended)
- 100 PDFs with GPT-4o (complex analysis)
- 400 PDFs with GPT-4o mini

Calculation:
Infrastructure: $295.00
GPT-4o: 100 × $0.025 = $2.50
GPT-4o mini: 1,400 × $0.0015 = $2.10
Total: $299.60/month
Cost per document: $0.20
Scenario 3: High-quality focus
- 300 PDFs with GPT-4o
- 200 PDFs with GPT-4o mini
- 1,000 URLs with GPT-4o mini
Calculation:
Infrastructure: $295.00

Optimization Strategies
Maximize Throughput
1. Batch Processing
Process in large batches:
- 50 PDFs at once (vs 25 on Pro Plan)
- 100 URLs at once (vs 50 on Pro Plan)
- Reduces overhead, faster total time
Example:
- 500 PDFs to process
- Batch size 50: 10 batches, ~90 minutes total
- Batch size 25: 20 batches, ~180 minutes total
- 50% faster with larger batches
2. Concurrent Processing
Leverage 12 concurrent jobs:
- Submit multiple batches simultaneously
- Pro+ can handle 12 jobs at once
- Pro can only handle 5 jobs
Strategy:
- Queue 12 jobs of 50 PDFs each (600 PDFs total)
- All 12 process in parallel
- Completes in same time as 1 batch
3. Optimize Model Selection
Cascade Strategy:
- Start with GPT-4o mini for all documents
- Implement quality check (confidence score)
- Re-process low-confidence documents with GPT-4o
Result:
- 85% of docs processed with mini
- 15% re-processed with GPT-4o
- Optimal balance of cost and quality
4. Use Quick Extract for Simple Tasks
When you only need text extraction:
- Enable Quick Extract mode
- 3x faster processing
- No AI analysis overhead
- $0 model costs (only infrastructure)
Example use case:
- Extract text from 1,000 invoices
- Use Quick Extract: ~2.5 hours total
- Use Standard Analysis: ~8 hours total
- 3x faster, lower cost
Cost Optimization
1. Storage Management
Clean up processed documents regularly:
# Delete documents older than 90 days
curl -X DELETE "https://your-domain/api/v1/documents?older_than=90d" \
-H "X-Deployment-Key: ak-xxxxx"
Benefits:
- Free up storage for new documents
- Reduce database size
- Maintain performance
2. Selective GPT-4o Usage
Reserve GPT-4o for high-value documents:
- Legal contracts: GPT-4o
- Invoices: GPT-4o mini
- Financial reports: GPT-4o
- Simple emails: GPT-4o mini
Savings:
- If 80% mini, 20% GPT-4o: $5/month models
- If 100% GPT-4o: $37.50/month models
- Save $32.50/month
3. Optimize Analysis Depth
Use appropriate analysis depth:
- Quick Extract: Text only, no analysis
- Standard: Summary + key points (default)
- Deep: Full analysis including entities, sentiment
Cost impact:
- Quick Extract: $0 model costs
- Standard: Standard token usage
- Deep: 2-3x more output tokens
Recommendation: Default to Standard, use Deep selectively.
4. API Efficiency
Minimize redundant API calls:
- Cache results when possible
- Use batch endpoints instead of individual
- Implement retry with exponential backoff
- Use webhooks instead of polling
Security Configuration
IP Whitelisting Setup
Step-by-Step Configuration:
1. Identify IP Addresses to Whitelist
# Find your office IP
curl https://api.ipify.org
# Find your server IP
curl -4 ifconfig.me
2. Add to Dashboard
- Login to dashboard
- Settings → Security → IP Whitelisting
- Click "+ Add IP Address"
- Enter IP or CIDR range:
- Single IP:
203.0.113.45 - Range:
203.0.113.0/24
- Single IP:
- Add description: "Office network"
- Click "Save"
3. Test Access
From whitelisted IP:
curl -H "X-Deployment-Key: ak-xxxxx" \
https://your-domain/api/v1/health
# Returns: {"status": "healthy"}
From non-whitelisted IP:
curl -H "X-Deployment-Key: ak-xxxxx" \
https://your-domain/api/v1/health
# Returns: 403 Forbidden
4. Add Emergency Access
Always include:
- Your personal IP (for admin access)
- VPN gateway IP (if using VPN)
- Backup access point
Custom Domain Configuration
Prerequisites:
- Domain name (example.com)
- Access to DNS settings
Step 1: Configure DNS
Add A record in your DNS provider:
Type: A
Name: docs (or subdomain of choice)
Value: [Your VM IP Address]
TTL: 3600 (1 hour)
Step 2: Configure SSL
SSH into VM:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa appuser@your-vm-ip
# Install Certbot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
# Obtain certificate
sudo certbot --nginx -d docs.example.com
# Verify auto-renewal
sudo certbot renew --dry-run
Step 3: Update Configuration
Edit Nginx config:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/alactic
# Add server block for custom domain
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name docs.example.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/docs.example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/docs.example.com/privkey.pem;
# ... rest of config
}
# Reload Nginx
sudo systemctl reload nginx
Step 4: Verify
curl https://docs.example.com/api/v1/health
# Should return: {"status": "healthy"}

Upgrading from Pro Plan
Migration Process
Evaluation:
Upgrade from Pro to Pro+ when:
- Consistently using 90%+ of Pro Plan quota
- Need IP whitelisting for security
- Require custom domain
- Need faster processing (4 vCPUs)
- Want priority support
Migration Steps:
- Backup Pro Plan data
- Deploy Pro+ Plan (keep Pro running during migration)
- Configure IP whitelisting (test with Pro+ deployment)
- Setup custom domain (if using)
- Update API integrations (new deployment key)
- Run parallel for 1 week (verify Pro+ working)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I process more than 1,500 documents if I pay extra?
A: No. Pro+ Plan has hard limit of 500 PDFs and 1,000 URLs per month. For higher volumes, upgrade to Enterprise.
Q: Does IP whitelisting affect API access?
A: Yes. API requests must come from whitelisted IPs. Ensure your application servers are in the whitelist.
Q: Can I use multiple custom domains?
A: No. Pro+ Plan supports one custom domain. Enterprise Plan supports multiple domains.
Q: What happens if my IP address changes?
A: You'll lose access. Update the IP whitelist immediately via any whitelisted IP, or contact support for emergency access.
Q: Can I upgrade from Pro+ to Enterprise mid-month?
A: Yes. Contact support for migration assistance. Pro-rated billing applies.
Q: Is Pro+ suitable for mission-critical applications?
A: For moderate criticality, yes. For mission-critical with SLA requirements, Enterprise is recommended.
Q: Can I share Pro+ Plan across multiple applications?
A: Yes, all applications share the same quota and resources. Use IP whitelisting to control access.
Q: How does custom domain affect billing?
A: Custom domain SSL certificate cost ($3/month) is included in Pro+ Plan pricing.
