What it is
NLP Cloud is a web service that provides API access to natural language processing capabilities, including emotion detection, aspect-based sentiment analysis, and custom categories. Its plans differ in parallel-request capacity and model-specific request rates. The Free plan allows two parallel requests, while Pay-As-You-Go allows 10 and adds usage charges invoiced after use. Starter, Full, and Enterprise list CPU request rates for Bart Large CNN; GPU plans specify rates for Whisper, GPT-OSS 120B, and LLaMA 3. Listed daily billing amounts are $1/day for Starter, $2/day for Full, $7/day for Enterprise, $3.5/day for Starter GPU, $7/day for Full GPU, $23/day for Enterprise GPU, and $80/day for Large Language Models. Their parallel-request limits range from 10 to 50. Pay-As-You-Go is billed at $0 / month plus usage, with 10 parallel requests. NLP Cloud was founded in 2020 and is headquartered at 447 Broadway in New York City.
