Limitations
–TheIndividual plan ($8.74/mo / €7.49/mo) is capped at 300,000 characters and just 3 file translations per month, requiring a jump to Team ($28.74/mo) or Business ($57.49/mo) for heavy workloads.
–Supports roughly 30+ core languages, which is significantly narrower than Google Translate's 130+ language catalog for rare regional dialects.
–DeepL Write Pro requires an extra €6.99/user/month add-on for Individual and Team subscribers unless upgrading to the Business tier.
