Which plan to pickStart 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.Pro is enough for most agencies and site owners. An AI and plagiarism check together uses two credits per 100 words, so budget about 100,000 words of checked content a month. Go Enterprise only if you need the API or very high volume.Test the free 250 words on your own writing first. If the output works for you, a small yearly plan is cheap. Word credits reset monthly, so don't buy more than you use.
