### "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.

[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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "An Exceptional Translation Aid with Occasional Bugs"

December 5, 2024

4.0

DeepL Pro is basically my best friend at work. It’s an essential tool that helps me refine my translations and provides excellent alternatives when I’m stuck. It’s intuitive, and elevates the quality of my work every day.

Pros

As a freelance translator, DeepL Pro is undoubtedly the best machine translator out there. The free version is impressive, and it’s incredibly easy to use. I especially love the alternatives feature—it always suggests great word options that make fine-tuning translations a breeze.

Cons

The biggest downside of DeepL Pro is that the website or server goes down more often than I’d like, which can be frustrating. It also gets a bit buggy from time to time. As someone who relies on it daily for several hours, this can be pretty annoying—especially since I’m paying for the Pro version.

### "Literal plus Context"

February 25, 2025

4.0

It’s fast and easy to use; I speak in English and the french text quickly shows, the click the microphone and hear the french speaker.

Pros

great voices with vigor and clear enunciation. Especially important for my cochlear implant and bluetooth transfer thru the speech processor.

Cons

The context based translation makes it difficult to match french words with english words. I need to know how a frenchman thinks and speaks in a literal translation; after which, I need the context translation.

DeepL Pro is a powerful and accurate translation solution for professionals.

### "Trsanslation with privacy"

May 10, 2022

5.0

Pros

The system provides privacy which is very critical for official documents. The Translation is way better than other tools and performs a nearly close translation. Document translation is pretty much good with various formats supported. It just does not perform translation of sentences word by word but most of the time translates according to structure of sentence.

Cons

Supports multiple languages but still lacks many. Not have a consistent experience in all languages. The dark mode is not available. Even with an Advanced subscription only 20 documents a month. The documents lose their format after translation. The sentence structure is lost after translation for long sentences and makes the sentences seem robotic.

### "IN LOVE WITH"

December 14, 2023

5.0

I have grown dependent on it, even if not working...

Pros

It is the most useful tool for my everyday work. It lets you choose from synonyms and different kind of expressing a concept / word / phrase. It's loaded with tons of phrases of the economical / legal area.

Cons

I dislike a feature that was added in the last months, that when you scroll over a word it turns blue and sometimes it's bothersome. It lacks phrases / expressions / words of the medical area. Greek language doesn't have a glossary yet. We need it! When I work in a particular translation, I would like it to remember how I translate certain words and use these words/phrases.

### "The gold standard of machine-based translation"

October 3, 2022

5.0

Great. I'm an absolute fan for years.

Pros

The usefulness of translation results and the processing of additional characters/strings (like from software code). And that I support a company of my home town: Cologne, Germany, is where HQ are located and the company was founded.

Cons

There are some features of the Windows desktop app that you can only use when you have a current subscription although the features is in fact free online.

### "Awsome product for the money"

February 24, 2023

5.0

totally, I'm so satisfied with the product and would like to recommend it to anyone who likes professional translation.

Pros

I love how professionally it translates texts from different languages together but the best feature is absolutely the ability to give a file and request for translation in supported languages.

Cons

the number of times we can use the file feature is limited, even on the pro version. if that limitation was at least more like 20 was nicer which currently is only 5 times per month.
