Which plan to pick	Start on Free. If you translate documents or customer emails every week, Individual on a yearly plan is the sweet spot and stops DeepL keeping your text. Move to Team only when several people need the same glossary.	Test the free 250 words on your own writing first. If the output works for you, a small yearly plan is cheap.

Pros and cons

Attribute	DeepL	Undetectable AI
Pros	More natural translations than Google Translate in most European languages Documents keep their formatting after translation Glossaries keep your terms consistent Paid plans don't store or train on your text A European company, which matters to businesses avoiding US tools	Simple: paste, pick a level, rewrite Built-in detector shows how text might score Cheap on yearly plans API for bulk rewriting Refund on humanised text that gets flagged
Cons	Free plan is small: 50,000 characters and one file a month Weaker on Japanese, Chinese and Korean than a good chat assistant, and newer languages are uneven Many complaints about renewal charges, refused refunds and slow support, so diarise the end of any trial Long-time users report it got slower and less literal in 2026, sometimes rewording the meaning, so legal text still needs a human Glossary and file limits are tight on the cheaper plans	No guarantee text will pass detectors Rewrites can read awkwardly or change your meaning Using it to hide AI use can break school or client rules Free trial is only 250 words Its marketing promises more than any humaniser can deliver
