No published self-serve offer covers this volume, so the chain stops here rather than guessing a total.
Bars share one linear scale across the 2 counted stages, so a multiplier shows as length. Units differ by stage and are labelled. Cash is not on that scale.

Product scope and returned result
Jina Reader accepts a URL and returns the page’s main content as LLM-oriented text. Its JSON mode can return the URL, title, content, and timestamp when available. The related Search endpoint accepts a query, searches the web, and returns five entries with URLs and cleaned content. DeepSearch is a separate reasoning workflow that searches and iterates before returning an answer. These are distinct from a raw proxy or a browser session because the service performs content conversion before returning output. (Jina Reader, retrieved 2026-07-26).
Reader can also process PDFs and images, apply CSS selectors, wait for dynamic content, render JavaScript, and return JSON or Markdown. Some options alter usage, including ReaderLM-v2, which the public page marks as costing three times the normal tokens. (Jina Reader, retrieved 2026-07-26).
Every recorded meter
The first recorded meter is Reader output tokens: token usage counts the number of tokens in the returned response. Basic Reader use without an API key is free at 20 requests per minute; a free or paid API key raises the published Reader limit to 500 requests per minute. (Jina Reader, retrieved 2026-07-26).
The second meter is Search tokens: each s.jina.ai request costs a fixed number of tokens starting at 10,000 tokens. Search is unavailable without a key and is shown at 100 requests per minute for free and paid keys. The public text does not explain the charge above that starting point. (Jina Reader, retrieved 2026-07-26).
The third recorded meter is DeepSearch total tokens, counted across the complete reasoning and search process. The same API-key token balance is shared across Jina’s search foundation products. The reviewed public text does not state whether failed fetches or blocked pages consume tokens. (Jina Reader, retrieved 2026-07-26).
Contract path, minimum, and trial
The lowest-friction path requires no contract: prepend r.jina.ai to a URL for basic Reader access. A new API key includes 10 million free tokens. Paid self-serve use asks for an API key in the billing widget and lets the buyer top up tokens, but the current package sizes and prices are not visible until a key is supplied. No minimum top-up is published on the loaded page. (Jina Reader, retrieved 2026-07-26).
Premium throughput and cloud or managed purchase questions go through Jina’s sales form. The form asks for name, work email, job role, organization, organization size, country, organization website, products of interest, and a description of the problem or idea. Buyers can also discuss AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud deployment paths. (Jina contact sales, retrieved 2026-07-26).
Price status and why there is no published price
Jina publicly defines token counting and free access, but the current token-pack prices sit behind an API-key billing widget. Older prices should not be copied because Jina says a new pricing model took effect on May 6, 2025. The package rate, minimum, failure billing, and exact Search charge above 10,000 tokens are therefore not knowable from the open page. (Jina Reader, retrieved 2026-07-26).
