What advantages does pay-as-you-go offer compared to subscription models?

Core Issue Diagnosis

Users often only need to translate a single long document, yet are still required to pay for a monthly subscription.

Root Cause Analysis

Flexible Cost Control

DL.Translator charges based on word count (approximately $1 per 20,000 words). This means that for students or professionals who occasionally need to translate lengthy reports, the costs are significantly lower than the fixed monthly fee of DeepL Pro.

Hedging Risks with Pay-After-Preview

We allow users to preview the translated document’s layout and quality for free (up to about 2,000 words). You pay only if you are satisfied, fully eliminating financial waste caused by unsatisfactory translation results.

Final Solution Summary

Pay-as-you-go shifts the risk from users to the platform, reflecting our confidence in quality.
