Pay for what you use. Upgrade when you need more.
* Character allowance based on standard usage. Premium features (critique & refinement) use additional processing power and may reduce total character count.
Need more capacity? One-time top-ups available for all paid plans.
No surprises. No auto-charges. You're always in control.
TAO analyzes your text to determine if it would benefit from critique-led refinement. Simple text gets fast processing; complex text gets premium treatment.
First, we generate a context-aware translation using your glossary and control vocabulary settings.
A specialized model critiques the translation, identifying areas for improvement in accuracy, fluency, and cultural appropriateness.
Based on the critique, specific improvements are applied where needed—not a complete retranslation, but surgical improvements.
Smart & Efficient:
Our AI analyzes each text and applies critique-led refinement only where it adds value. Professional and Enterprise tiers both get this intelligence—Enterprise just gets 5x more volume to work with.
Note: When premium processing is applied, it uses approximately 2x the processing resources of standard translation, which is reflected in your usage.

Volume Pricing
Top-ups match our subscription pricing for consistency. The Scale Pack offers the best value with 12 million characters at just $0.00583 per 1k characters. Perfect for large projects, API integrations, or building up a translation buffer.
Top-ups are valid for 90 days and are consumed after your monthly allowance.
We count words in your source text before translation. On average, 1 word ≈ 5 characters. Your dashboard shows both word and character usage for full transparency.
Yes! Upgrade anytime and get immediate access to higher tier features. Downgrades take effect at the end of your billing period. No penalties, no questions asked.
Your translations will pause until the next billing cycle or until you purchase a top-up. We'll notify you when you're approaching your limit so there are no surprises.
Monthly allowances don't roll over, but top-up packages remain valid for 90 days. We always use your monthly allowance first before consuming top-ups.
Both use our GLCV system. Glossary ensures consistent translation of terms. Control vocabulary goes further—it can enforce specific translations or prevent translation entirely (DNT).
Professional tier includes light AI refinement for improved quality, while Enterprise tier provides substantial AI refinement for maximum translation quality. The main differences are volume (1M vs 8M characters), refinement level, and support. Choose based on your quality requirements and translation volume needs.
