DeepL

Annual plan prices meet different quotas

Individual costs €7.49 per month when billed annually and includes a free 30-day trial, according to DeepL’s Pro page checked 2026-10-31. The Team plan costs €24.99 per user per month when billed annually; Business costs €49.99 per user per month on the same billing basis. Enterprise pricing is custom.

The plan page says Individual has 300,000 characters and three file translations per month, while Team has 1,000,000 characters per user and 20 file translations per month. The plan page lists 100 file translations per month for Business.

Payment can be made by card, SEPA Direct Debit, or bank transfer; DeepL says it does not accept PayPal. Subscribers can cancel at any time, with cancellation taking effect at the end of the current billing cycle, according to the Pro page. The agreement says charges are those shown during online purchase or in the order form.

The Individual trial is specified as 30 days, but the general agreement describes trials as discretionary for selected services and says a trial becomes paid after its term unless either side terminates it during the trial. Consumers may withdraw from a fee-based agreement within 14 days, and either party may end an indefinite agreement at the close of the current billing period.

Document translation preserves stated layout

DeepL says document translation supports multiple file formats and preserves original formatting and layout, while its product page also claims preservation of visual context. The service lists Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, and Vietnamese among its languages, and its Translator page describes coverage in over 100 languages.

The plan page gives monthly file-translation allowances for Individual, Team, and Business, but the file-size boundary varies by plan. Monthly quotas do not carry over to later months, so unused allowance expires rather than accumulating.

Questions to put to support before registering

Ask support to explain which trial terms apply to the offer you are considering, since the Individual plan’s stated trial differs in specificity from the agreement’s discretionary-trial wording. A useful answer should identify the applicable term and what action ends the trial before it becomes paid.

For document-heavy work, request the file-size limit attached to the selected plan and check whether it fits the documents you expect to translate. The plan page’s Business allowance is expressed as file translations, so ask what character allowance, if any, applies to that plan.

DeepL lists a contact form and a Cologne address for support; its developer page also lists a Support Center, Discord Community, and API Status Page. In general, buyers should ask for plan-specific answers in writing when the answer affects workload or billing.

API requests move through a documented route

DeepL’s quickstart directs users to choose an API plan and sign up before sending requests. It guides the user from obtaining an API key to making a translation request, and specifies a POST request to the `/v2/translate` endpoint.

The same quickstart says free API plan users should send requests to `api-free.deepl.com` rather than `api.deepl.com`. It lists client libraries for Python, JavaScript, PHP,.NET, Java, and Ruby. For production code, the page recommends storing API keys in environment variables.

The API documentation groups products for text and document translation, translation customization, voice, and administration. The Admin product manages API keys, permissions, and usage across an organization, which is distinct from making translation requests. Users who already have a DeepL Translator account are directed to log out and create a new account for API signup.

Glossaries and memory support consistency

DeepL offers glossaries to control how important terms and phrases are translated, giving teams a stated way to manage terminology. Translation memory can apply previously approved translations where relevant, according to the provider.

The provider says Style rules capture tone, style, and formatting preferences for automatic use in translations. Its product pages also describe writing tools with style and tone adaptations for a brand and target audience.

DeepL Pro can be used through browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, and the provider also describes API integration into systems. DeepL states that Pro subscribers’ content is not used to train its AI models.

Monthly quotas and file caps narrow use

DeepL’s Pro page and license terms list these limits and conditions, according to sources checked 2026-10-31.

• The provider states that the Individual plan includes 300,000 characters and three file translations per month, while the Team plan includes 1,000,000 characters per user and 20 file translations per month.
• The provider lists 100 file translations per month for Business.
• A fair usage policy applies to features marked with footnote 2 on the Pro page.
• Customers may not use the services to develop or market a machine-translation algorithm.
• DeepL states an annual average uptime aim of at least 97% for fee-based services and offers 99.0% for the Business plan.

Several details remain unresolved; they are listed under What we could not confirm.

The workflow suits text, files, and teams

DeepL describes its Pro plans as serving individuals, teams, businesses, and organizations. That framing aligns with individual translation and shared organizational use, while the terms also describe business or private use and use within customer software products.

For software workflows, DeepL says its API supports translating, editing, and polishing content across websites, internal tools, and apps. For meetings, DeepL Voice provides translated captions and integrates with Zoom Meetings and Microsoft Teams; its license page also names Google Meet as supported.

On mobile, DeepL describes Voice for Conversations as supporting face-to-face conversations across languages. Buyers should match the chosen route to whether work centers on documents, software, meetings, or in-person conversations.

Compare translators by workflow and terms

In general, compare language and format coverage against the material you translate, then check whether the workflow fits individual, team, or software use. Pricing basis, quotas, API access, data handling, and support terms also determine whether two services are comparable.

Questions about DeepL’s plans and workflow

How do the plan quotas differ?

The plan quotas differ in their stated character and file allowances. Individual and Team list both kinds of monthly allowance, while Business lists file translations. The plan details therefore distinguish the quotas they explicitly state, rather than presenting one shared allowance across all paid plans.

What does DeepL say about Pro subscriber content?

DeepL says Pro subscriber content is not used to train its AI models. It also states that this content is temporarily stored only as technically needed and deleted afterward, unless otherwise specified. These are provider statements about Pro subscribers, not independent verification of data handling.

When does a trial become paid?

A trial becomes a paid subscription after its term unless DeepL or the customer terminates it during the trial, according to the agreement. The Individual plan page separately specifies a free 30-day trial and says users can cancel anytime. The two statements describe the Individual offer and the agreement’s general trial condition.

How does an API translation request reach DeepL?

An API translation request uses a POST request to the `/v2/translate` endpoint after the user selects an API plan, signs up, and obtains an API key. The quickstart directs free API plan users to `api-free.deepl.com` rather than `api.deepl.com`.

Can an existing Translator account sign up for the API?

An existing DeepL Translator account cannot be used directly for API signup under the documented route: users must log out and create a new account. The API quickstart also directs users to choose an API plan and obtain an API key before sending translation requests.

Proceed when the quotas match the workload

Fits if the stated plan quotas and annual billing terms match the workload you intend to run; the Individual and Team pages specify character and file allowances.

Probably not if document use depends on a file-size boundary you have not checked for the selected plan.

Main risk… relying on promoted capabilities without matching them to plan-specific allowances and billing conditions. Before registering, confirm the applicable quota, document limit, and trial terms.
