- What it does: Document Understanding is UiPath's product for extracting data from structured and semi-structured documents such as forms and invoices, with a validation step for people to correct extractions. UiPath publishes an ACORD25 ML package that reads the Certificate of Liability Insurance: producer, insured and certificate holder, insurer letters with NAIC numbers, coverage lines with ADDL INSD and SUBR WVD flags, policy numbers and dates, and limits. It can run in UiPath Automation Cloud, self-hosted on Automation Suite, or hybrid. Usage is metered per page in AI units or Platform Units; dollar prices are not published.
- Best for: Carriers, brokers and large companies that already run UiPath automations and want certificate data extracted inside the same platform.
- Not a fit for: Small teams without a UiPath license that want a standalone extraction API with a published price.
- Pricing: Not published (Per page, metered in AI units or Platform Units)

Pricing
UiPath documents the metering (per page: 0.2 AI units to classify, 0.8 to extract after classification, 1 to extract without it; 0.04, 0.16 and 0.2 Platform Units on Unified Pricing) but publishes no dollar price for Document Understanding.
Where it fits
- Reading ACORD 25 certificates that arrive by email into a UiPath workflow
- Checking general liability limits and additional insured flags before a vendor is onboarded
Our assessment
A sensible choice when UiPath is already in the building; teams starting fresh can get ACORD 25 data with less setup elsewhere.
