Smartcat
Collaborative translation platform with integrated freelancer marketplace and generative AI
Overview
Smartcat brings together in one platform a TMS (Translation Management System), an online CAT editor, and a marketplace giving access to over 500,000 verified freelance translators worldwide. Teams can manage projects, review flows, payments to providers and translation memories from a single dashboard.
Smartcat's generative AI (SmartCAT AI) translates, rephrases and adapts content, while human translators from the marketplace can take over on the fly. The Basic plan at $1,200/year is very competitive for agencies and SMBs pooling their translation projects.
Our verdict
Smartcat is ideal for SMBs with regular translation needs who want to combine AI and human translators without managing contractors outside the platform. Marketplace access is limited to Enterprise plans: if you need third-party translators from the start, negotiate an Enterprise plan or evaluate Phrase.
