### "An app for everyone"

January 6, 2022

5.0

Despite everything, I love the particularities that exist in Deepl and, it has given me good experiences in writing and translation I want to wish the technical team success for their work and that they go further!

Pros

For this review, I am using Deepl to write the pros I'm not a native speaker I scratch a lot in English so I need to use tools to not get stuck part of my income comes from writing and Deepl is the one I use the most, it suits me perfectly well, I can choose the way it is spoken in other regions the same language, amazing tool.

Cons

I think that Deepl's design is amazing, and so they should not limit themselves in their functions, even in the Pro plan they have limitations, I use Grammarly as an example, they can go further otherwise, we will have to go to Grammarly again after using Deepl, but if they put functions that keep us in Deepl it will be great.

Switched from

[Grammarly Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/170306/Grammarly-Business/)

I wish Deepl had the function of helping non-natives write like natives and this Grammarly provides for users but still Deepl has nuances of one language for each region of speakers and this is what I find amazing.

### "Deeply in love with DeepL Pro"

July 15, 2025

5.0

Overall good, for me, it's the best on the market at the moment. Excellent experience. I recommend it

Pros

What I like most about DeepL Pro is the accuracy of its translations, it works very well translating from English to Spanish, from Spanish to English, from Spanish to French, from French to English. It is Quick with lots of options for alternative phrases and now the new Deep Write feature is fantastic.

Cons

Copy and paste into the mobile phone app is a headache. In addition, the system is ofteb iddle due to too many users.

### "Appalling customer service"

June 22, 2026

2.0

Communication with customers non-existent; only bots and FAQs. Written to MD with my complaints and suggestions for improvement - not answer.

Pros

Accuracy and speed. Many different languages available, but I only use two main languages. Voice translation is possible.

Cons

Users of your translation programme have no way of exiting your default programme; in other words, they have to select the source and target languages anew every time, even though most users usually choose the same language combination. It’s a right pain! The default target language is American English, the spelling of which we in the UK consider incorrect and therefore generally avoid. 2. In the basic version of the programme, only a single glossary is permitted at no extra cost. No translator can work with just a single glossary, so why on earth do you even offer this? Very petty! 3. Furthermore, the programme can only be integrated with commonly used apps (e.g. Word) at an additional cost. 4. Bad website design

### "Great quality translation for all uses"

July 15, 2025

4.0

As someone who does not natively speak the language of the country where I reside, or the job where I work, DeepL Pro has been a lifesaver.

Pros

Probably the most accurate and human-sounding machine translation out there. DeepL has really upped the game with its extensive customization options and document translation, allowing me to just use it without worrying about accuracy.

Cons

The interface could use some improvement. Other than fewer restrictions on translation, there are no major benefits to going for a pro subscription. The cost of a pro subscription therefore tends to be a bit high for personal use, but not a big concern for work use.

Reason for choosing DeepL Pro

Superior quality, accuracy, and customization.

### "DeepL Pro review"

August 2, 2025

5.0

Pros

DeepL is great tool for translation. Fast, contextual and reliable. It captures the context which leads to a more precise translation.

Cons

It still does not support many languages. Also, some areas are not being translated and need improvement.

Switched from

[Google Translate](https://www.capterra.com/p/230852/Google-Translate/)

The switch to a DeepL Pro application was a step taken by management.

### "Good translator at an affordable price. "

February 28, 2023

5.0

Pros

The translator allows you to translate in several languages automatically. It offers a translation closer to native languages. Its interface is easy to use. Its cost is acceptable if you use its functions a lot.

Cons

To have all the features you have to cover a high cost. For an ordinary user, it is more acceptable to use the free version or a low-cost version.

### "Interface with the world!"

July 22, 2021

5.0

The experience is more than positive! I can use it both to better understand foreign languages and to express myself more credibly and truthfully with various partners and clients around the world.

Pros

DeepL seems to read your mind and understand exactly the concepts you have in mind and would like to convey to people who speak a different language than you. The clever use of buttons and shortcuts allows you to open it from any text source and then paste the already translated texts directly into the source page. Its extreme configurability makes it invaluable and irreplaceable for translations that don't sound mechanical and low-level.

Cons

It would be nice to have some additional features (however already included in paid subscriptions) such as being able to use formal or informal tones, or some custom glossary.

Switched from

[Google Translate](https://www.capterra.com/p/230852/Google-Translate/)

The translations were too mechanical and literal.

### "If you want to be overpriced, at least be worth it."

December 29, 2025

2.0

My subscription is monthly but I use it almost a year. Overall, I was satisfied. During last month's subscription I faced some problems with deepl's translate text. The alternatives do not work properly resulting to waste my time as well as the limit of the characters i have due to my plan pro. So, I emailed them and notified them with my problem. After some emails the result was that ''my issue is not a priority'' and when I asked for at least a compensation, they responded ''Regrettably, we are not able to offer any form of compensation, or goodwill gesture in this case.'' So I don't think it's worth €30,00 per month.

Pros

It's easy to use and quite accurate. At ''translation text'' there is the option of ''alternatives'' that helps me a lot.

Cons

Τheir approach to the problem that arose. I find it really unfair to pay €30,00 per month and due to their faulty product to not meet the expectations they advertise.

### "A Translation App To Rule Them All"

June 17, 2025

4.0

I've been stuck with Google Translate and I wasn't sure how else could I bring my learning language approach to the next level until I came across Deepl Pro. I like well their translator can be reshaped to avoid having a single translation.

Pros

The ability to rephrase sentences and in various tones and how I can toggle the before and after to see what exaclty took place to put into practice. I

Cons

Their text to speech feature seems a bit off, it sounds like a robot and I really need to have a more natural voice since I am learning french. Also they are missing out on the Catalan language.

### "Good program at the core but got worse overtime. Sometimes horrible. Switching to Trados."

June 16, 2025

1.0

Full of glitches and bugs, technically got worse and worse over the years, it is sometime horrible, unprofessional, customer service can't fix a relatively easy problem for months and that is with a Pro Account.

Pros

Artificial Intelligence function, speed, creativity, clicking on words in the translation and being able to choose other ones on the go

Cons

Memory doesn't work, simpel option that customer service/IT department wasn't able to fix for months, still faulty

### "Deepl Pro - Review"

April 30, 2025

5.0

I use Deepl Pro since 1.5 years and it's helping me everyday to ensure my understanding of the different language that I use.

Pros

The library of language that you can translate with a lot of strength word, it's useful for everyday. I mainly use French, Swedish, English, and German. Last, I really like the speed of the translation time.

Cons

I found some issue when i let the navigator open, sometimes I need to close or completly refresh the navigator to have access to the website.

### "Great translator"

February 26, 2025

5.0

Just great, even when I had the free version, despite the character limit for translation it’s always been of great help.

Pros

The free features that become unlimited, and also for the documents we can upload up to 100 files per month. Your own memory translation too.

Cons

I really don’t have something that I dislike but I would say the Limited language options, it supports fewer languages compared to other Google Translate for example.

### "Still the best translation tool"

November 17, 2023

5.0

I love this system. Years ago, I paid thousands of Euros for translators. That is over now.

Pros

The translations are of the highest quality. It is even possible to improve a text by clicking on a word and choosing another.

Cons

It is not possible to activate a paid account on different devices. You get automatically locked out on others when doing it on a certain device.

### "More Accurate Than Google, Less Expensive Than an Agency"

March 23, 2022

4.0

Overall, DeepL Pro has fit nicely within the constructs of our marketing team, has saved us both time and money, along with preventing a great deal of frustration. Translating marketing content is arduous but DeepL Pro makes it a bit easier.

Pros

DeepL Pro enables us access to real-time and accurate translations in a multitude of languages. This has not only saved us money on an agency to translate for us, but has also saved us time given that the native speakers have less editing to do once the content is translated.

Cons

One feature that would be nice is if you could save your top language preferences at the top of the language drop down to enable quick selection. Though, this is not too much of a burden when navigating options.

Reason for choosing DeepL Pro

We did not utilize a different product, but rather an agency. We replaced the agency with DeepL Pro to save time, money, and frustration.

### "Best for expats in Germany 🇩🇪"

July 13, 2021

5.0

Learning, understandable, easy to use and yes it makes very difficult task a quite simple through its translations.

Pros

I am a expat in Germany and living since 3 years. I use Deepl to translate documents, images text as well as recordings. Initially as a student I use the normal version of Deepl which is free of cost and helps me a lot. After getting job into Schaeffler, I started using the pro version of the translation application. It helps me to write my reports and presentations and also it check my grammar thus it is an two in one software for me. To learn a language is quite difficult thing but to learn via such Platforms I'd quite interesting. My proficiency of German is actually getting better after using Deepl Pro.

Cons

Irrelevant notifications to get Deepl pro is annoying for me in my initial stages. I think that should be repaired as some of the students or professionals don't need pro version. A free version for all people should be available without any disturbance.

### "The best translator without a doubt"

June 29, 2021

5.0

I use DeepL every day to verify that my writing is correct with different clients who speak different languages. It is extremely useful, effective and simple.

Pros

DeepL guarantees you a correct translation, not only translating words, but also taking into account the context and advising you on the best options. In addition, its MAC application works great and in its Pro version, if you want to use its API, it is also extremely easy.

Cons

I can't find any cons. It is true that it does not have all the languages of the world, but it is better to have it well done than to have all the languages and that the translation is not correct.

### "Best translation software"

November 12, 2022

5.0

A super helpful tool for translation. I use it almost daily multiple times.

Pros

Almost perfect translation for the languages I use (English, German, Greek, and Spain). Many times I consider its translation even for the languages I am a native speaker and I am struggling to find the exact right word. Much better than any other translating software solution.

Cons

Sometimes when I copy-paste the text from the writing form, the lines break and I have to export it.
