DeepL

Annual billing sets the listed prices

The listed Individual price is €7.49 per month with annual billing; DeepL also offers a free 30-day trial for that plan, with cancellation available anytime. The pricing page was checked 2026-10-31.

For teams, the annual-billing price is €24.99 per user per month; the Business plan is €49.99 per user per month on the same billing basis. The DeepL Pro pricing page lists both prices. Enterprise pricing is custom.

DeepL accepts card payments, SEPA Direct Debit, and bank transfer, but not PayPal, according to its pricing page. The agreement says customers pay charges shown during online purchase or in the order form.

Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time, with cancellation effective at the end of the current billing cycle, according to DeepL’s pricing page. The agreement says either party may terminate an indefinite agreement at the end of the current billing period. Consumers may withdraw from a fee-based agreement within 14 days, according to the agreement.

The license terms say a trial automatically becomes paid after its term unless DeepL or the customer terminates it during the trial. A free trial may also be offered for selected services at DeepL’s discretion, according to the agreement.

Text, files, voice, and API define scope

DeepL describes its product as an AI translation platform for text, files, media formats, and voice. DeepL says its Translator offers translations in over 100 languages, and that file translation supports 100+ languages while preserving layout and visual context.

For documents, DeepL says translation preserves original formatting and layout and is built for bulk and enterprise workflows. DeepL Write is described as a multilingual AI-powered writing assistant, while its writing tools offer style and tone adaptations for a brand and target audience.

DeepL promotes real-time translated captions for virtual meetings and voice support for face-to-face conversations across languages on mobile devices. Its API supports translating, editing, and polishing content across websites, internal tools, and apps.

Ask support about API and file conditions

Before registering, describe the intended text and document workload and ask which plan’s allowance applies. In general, expected volume and file handling are useful points to clarify with a provider.

Ask how file-size limits vary across the plans under consideration. If documents are central to the workflow, clarify how the applicable limit is measured and whether it changes with file format.

For an integration, ask which API plan and endpoint fit the intended use. In general, API access terms and supported workflows are worth confirming before building a connection.

Finally, ask how the trial terms apply to the selected service, including when paid billing begins and how cancellation takes effect. Get the relevant terms for that specific plan before registering.

The API request follows a documented route

DeepL’s quickstart directs users to choose an API plan and sign up before using the API. Users with an existing DeepL Translator account are instructed to log out and create a new account for API registration.

The quickstart describes a translation request sent as POST to the `/v2/translate` endpoint. For free API plan users, the page specifies `api-free.deepl.com` instead of `api.deepl.com`.

The API product set includes text and document translation, translation customization, voice, and administration. DeepL says the Admin product manages API keys, permissions, and organizational usage. The quickstart provides client libraries for Python, JavaScript, PHP,.NET, Java, and Ruby.

Caps and billing rules narrow use

DeepL’s plan page and license terms describe the following limits and conditions.

• Individual and Team plans have monthly character allowances, while their file-translation counts are also capped.
• A fair usage policy applies to features marked with footnote 2.
• Document file-size limits vary by plan, and monthly quotas cannot carry over to later months.
• A trial automatically becomes paid after its term unless DeepL or the customer terminates it during the trial.
• The agreement excludes using the services to develop or market a machine-translation algorithm.

Glossaries and controls shape translation

DeepL’s feature and privacy pages describe terminology controls, translation memory, security features, and data-handling terms.

• Glossaries let teams control how important terms and phrases are translated, while Style rules capture tone, style, and formatting preferences for automatic use.
• Translation memory applies previously approved translations where relevant, giving teams a way to reuse established wording.
• DeepL lists BYOK encryption, audit logs, and SSO among its security features.
• DeepL states that Pro subscribers’ content is not used to train its AI models. The provider says that content is temporarily stored only as technically needed and deleted afterward, unless otherwise specified.

Before relying on these controls, check which ones apply to the intended plan and workflow.

Compare translation terms by workflow

For translation services in general, compare language coverage, file handling, API workflow, plan caps, billing, data handling, and support terms. A useful comparison follows the same task from source text or document through review and delivery, then checks which plan conditions apply. Ask providers to clarify any term that affects recurring use.

Match the plan to the translation task

DeepL describes plans for individuals, teams, businesses, and organizations, and its terms cover business or private use as well as use in customer software products.

A DeepL customer story says Sumitomo Corporation adopted the service company-wide for global communication and decision-making. The story identifies Translator, Glossaries, and File translation as products used, and describes corporate and team-specific terminology management. Treat this as the provider’s customer story, not independent evidence; check which specific plan and terms match your own workflow.

Questions about DeepL’s plan terms

Does the Individual plan include a trial?

The Individual plan includes a free trial, and DeepL’s pricing page specifies a free 30-day trial for that plan. The trial’s conversion terms are in the license terms, so check those terms alongside the plan price before starting it.

What happens when the trial ends?

A trial automatically becomes a paid subscription after its term unless DeepL or the customer terminates it during the trial, according to the license terms. The pricing page says subscriptions can be cancelled at any time, with cancellation effective at the end of the current billing cycle.

When does subscription cancellation take effect?

DeepL says cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle, even when the customer cancels earlier. For a trial, the license terms separately say the customer or DeepL must terminate it during the trial to prevent automatic conversion to a paid subscription.

Do document quotas roll over, and are file sizes capped?

DeepL’s license terms say monthly quotas cannot be carried over to later months. The same terms state that document file-size limits vary by plan, so check the applicable plan terms before relying on a particular document workload.

Does DeepL use Pro subscriber content to train its models?

DeepL states that Pro subscribers’ content is not used to train its AI models. The provider also says that customer data is never used to train its models. These are provider statements; the review does not treat them as independently verified.

How does a translation request reach the API?

DeepL’s API quickstart describes sending a POST request to the `/v2/translate` endpoint. The same page says free API plan users should use `api-free.deepl.com` instead of `api.deepl.com`. Check that the endpoint matches the API plan in use.

Proceed when the plan terms are clear

Fits if your workflow matches the plan’s stated allowances and you understand its billing and data-handling terms.

Probably not if you need monthly quotas to roll over or require file-size terms that do not vary by plan.

Main risk… a trial becomes paid unless terminated during the trial, while subscription cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing cycle. Check the selected plan’s terms and trial conditions before proceeding.
