What's the difference between DeepL API Free and DeepL API Pro?
Both plans, DeepL API Free and DeepL API Pro, enable access to DeepL's API.
DeepL API Free is a variant of our DeepL API Pro plan that allows developers to translate up to 500,000 characters per month for free.
For more advanced needs, the DeepL API Pro plan offers the following additional benefits:
- Maximum data security (your texts are deleted immediately after the translation)
- No volume restriction on the number of characters you can translate per month
- A prioritized execution of translation requests
- A billing model based on a fixed price of €4.99 per month + usage-based costs of €0.00002 per translated character
Please note that none of these plans give you access to the web translator and desktop apps or allow you to use DeepL Pro within translation software.
Please keep in mind that the API domain differs for both DeepL API plans and make sure to use the correct domain:
- For DeepL API Free: api-free.deepl.com
- For DeepL API Pro: api.deepl.com
Our API documentation applies for both plans.
