What Smartcat does

Translation runs on AI across 280+ languages, and Smartcat accepts 80+ file formats such as DOC, PDF, JSON and XLIFF. Translation memory and glossaries keep terms consistent between projects, and translation memory matches and repetitions are not charged on any plan. AI coworkers handle translation, review and quality assurance steps, and the platform can also generate content.

Websites are covered by the Website Translator, which works with any CMS. When a project needs people, the built-in Marketplace connects you with 500,000+ human translators, editors and reviewers. Integrations reach Google Drive, Figma, Jira, Contentful and other services, a Chrome Extension is part of the Adapt integrations, and API access is available.

Every plan includes unlimited users. Adapt is listed at $1,200 per year on its pricing page, billed annually, with 100K Smartwords and 1 workspace. Accelerate, Anticipate and Autonomous are custom-priced and include 1M, 2M and 6M Smartwords respectively; Accelerate adds Marketplace access and a priority SLA, Anticipate adds API access and SSO with 2FA, and Autonomous adds 7 workspaces with hierarchy and on-site support. The 15-day trial includes API access, and Smartcat states it is SOC 2 Type II compliant.
