Everything you need to know about Babel pricing and credits.
A 2-page memo and a 500-page legal contract are both “one document,” but they have vastly different translation costs. Credits align the price with the actual work done — you pay for characters translated, not arbitrary document counts.
You’ll be notified at 80% and 100% usage. You can upgrade to the next tier at any time and the new credit balance takes effect immediately. No translation is ever interrupted mid-process.
Credits reset at the start of each billing cycle. Annual subscribers receive all credits upfront for the year, giving you maximum flexibility in how you use them.
Yes. Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. Your current credits remain available until then. No penalties, no questions asked.
A monthly credit allowance, watermarked output, all 50+ languages, and community support. Perfect for evaluating Babel before committing. No credit card required.
Yes. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans. If you’re not satisfied for any reason, contact us within 30 days for a full refund. No questions asked.
