Credits and plans
Credit cost of Standard and Lite, plan allowances, monthly grants and rollover, one-time purchase prices, usage reporting and referral credits.
Credits measure translated words, not file size. Analysis is free, and the review screen shows the cost before you approve it.
Translation cost
| Quality | Cost | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 1 credit per billable word | Every plan |
| Lite | 1 credit per 3 billable words, rounded up per batch | Paid plans |
AI Glot uses the same word-count rule for the estimate, the reservation and the final charge. It measures very long strings without normal word boundaries with a character-based safeguard, so a page of unbroken text does not count as one word.

Plan allowances
| Plan | Credits each month | Glossaries | Terms per glossary | Team seats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | None. A free sample on your first translation: the first 5,000 words | 1 | 50 | 1 |
| Starter | 100,000 | 3 | 150 | Unlimited |
| Pro | 1,000,000 | Unlimited | 500 | Unlimited |
| Custom | Contracted | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
One credit translates one word in Standard mode or three words in Lite mode. Starter’s 100,000 credits are 100,000 words in Standard mode or 300,000 words in Lite mode. Pro’s 1,000,000 credits are 1,000,000 words in Standard mode or 3,000,000 words in Lite mode.
The Free plan is a trial rather than a small monthly allowance: your first translation is a free sample (the first 5,000 words of the file, or the whole file if it has 5,000 words or fewer), and it is not repeated. Lite quality is not available on it.
Current prices and commercial terms live on the pricing page; this table explains product allowances rather than replacing pricing.
Monthly grants and rollover
Paid plans receive credits monthly, including yearly subscriptions. Up to 50% of unused paid monthly subscription credits can roll into the next grant. Credits you buy once expire after 12 months.
An immediate plan upgrade grants the difference between the old and new monthly allowance for the current cycle. A downgrade takes effect at the next renewal and does not remove the current balance early.
One-time purchases
You can buy any amount of credits as a one-time purchase instead of choosing a bundle. To buy, follow Buy credits.
- Minimum: 10,000 credits, which costs 10 €. You can type up to 100,000,000 credits.
- Validity: credits you buy are valid for 12 months. When you hold credits with different expiry dates, the ones that expire first are used first.
- No plan change: a one-time purchase never changes your plan. Lite quality stays a paid plan feature.
- Welcome offer: a 50% discount applies to your first purchase within 30 days of signing up.
- Payment and tax: Stripe is the merchant of record, and VAT is added at checkout where it applies.
The more you buy, the lower the price per credit. Discounts are measured against 1 € per 1,000 credits and start above 25,000 credits.
| Credits | Price | Discount |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | 10 € | None |
| 25,000 | 25 € | None |
| 50,000 | 47.50 € | 5% |
| 100,000 | 90 € | 10% |
| 250,000 | 200 € | 20% |
| 1,000,000 | 550 € | 45% |
| 5,000,000 | 1,750 € | 65% |
Between two rows, every extra credit in that band costs the same, so buying more never costs less in total. Beyond 5,000,000 credits each extra 1,000 credits cost 0.30 €. For example, 14,000,000 credits cost 4,450 €. Totals are rounded to the nearest 5 cents.
Check your usage
Open Usage in the app to see balance, grants and activity over time. Break down by colours the activity chart by channel (web app, API, CLI or MCP), file format, target language, member or quality, and cards rank each of these for the period. Use Add filter, or click a row in a card, to narrow every figure on the page at once; filters combine and stay in the page address, so a filtered view can be shared. Integrations can use GET /v1/credits, GET /v1/usage, or the equivalent CLI and MCP commands.
Work-email welcome credits
Sign up with your work email and your new workspace receives 10,000 free credits. They are valid for 90 days and are spent before purchased credits. They come on top of the free sample.
You get them once, with a verified address at your company domain. Addresses at a free email provider, disposable addresses and school or university addresses do not qualify. An address with a + suffix counts as the same address. The number of grants per company domain is limited.
Referral credits
The Refer a friend page gives a new workspace 5,000 credits after its first workspace is created. The referrer can earn another 5,000 credits after the referred workspace’s first translation and 20,000 more after its first purchase, for a maximum of 25,000 credits per referral. Every member of the workspace can share the same referral link, and referral credits expire 90 days after they are granted.
