| Which plan to pick | Free is enough for typo-catching. If you write for clients or customers every day, Pro on yearly billing is good value; paying monthly costs more than double. | Start on Free. Pro is cheap and covers about 250 pages a month, enough for most individuals. Take Team once more than one person translates, because users are free and you only pay for the shared quota. | Use Basic for a week to see if you reach for it. If you do, Unlimited on yearly billing is the one to get, because Advanced still caps your rewrites. There are no refunds, so cancel during the 3-day trial if it isn't for you. |
