The free version offers 500,000 characters per month, which sounds like a lot, but **translating a single long document would use up half of it** — and only 1 file translation is allowed per month. Additionally, note that DeepL's free API plan has been discontinued since July 2026, leaving only paid options for those who want to integrate it into their code. ⚠️The prices on this page are from secondary sources, and the official pricing page is Checked automatically.

2026-07-31Initial registration. The official website deepl.com/en/pro cannot be fetched directly via WebFetch or r.jina.ai agent to read the pricing section (dynamically loaded). Therefore, a secondary source is used: the free tier includes 50,000 characters/month + 1 file/month (5MB); the paid tier has conflicting sources, one set is Individual US$8.74/Team US$28.74/Business US$57.49 (annual average price), and the other set is Starter US$10.49/Advanced US$34.49; in terms of API, starting from 2026-07, Free and Pro are discontinued and redirected to Growth US$26/month, which includes 12 million characters/year. All information is marked as unverified by the official website.

What Sets Us Apart
The main difference from the free version is "no longer having a monthly limit of 50,000 characters". ⚠️The price source is conflicting: one group claims US$8.74/month (annual payment), while another claims the lowest plan is Starter US$10.49/month, neither of which has been verified through the official website.
Monthly subscription is US$34.49/user/month, while annual subscription is US$28.74/user/month, saving 16%. Checked on 2026-08-22 to confirm (previously contradictory pricing between Team and Advanced plans has been resolved).
Monthly subscription price is US$68.99/user/month, and annual subscription is US$57.49/user/month. Checked on 2026-08-22 for the first time (previously completely unverified on the official website).

FreeThe free version is sufficient and permanently free, with limits on the number of sources or notebooks, and does not require subscription or credit card.
The translation quality has been rated as the most natural AI translation service for years, with full support for Traditional Chinese. It can directly translate Word/PDF files and preserve the layout. ⚠️Data quality statement: The official website's pricing page is dynamically loaded, and direct WebFetch and r.jina.ai agents can only obtain navigation and FAQ, but not the price block. All prices in this entry come from secondary sources, and there are discrepancies in plan names and amounts between sources (Individual/Team/Business vs Starter/Advanced/Ultimate). The contradictions are noted in each plan, and it is recommended to manually verify and correct them.
Related Guide：DeepL Glossaries for Traditional Chinese (2026): Create With zh, Translate With ZH-HANT — the Variant Code Fails
Glossaries are how you lock brand and product terms to one translation. But Traditional Chinese has a documented trap almost no tutorial mentions: a glossary can only be created with the root code zh — zh-Hant fails outright, and the variant code belongs in the translation request instead. Copy-paste v3 commands, the PUT vs PATCH difference, and the five formatting rules that silently drop entries. Last verified: 2026-09-03
