FAQ about DeepL for nonprofits
How much can I translate for free?
The free version includes 50,000 characters per user per month. It also allows one file translation per user per month, with a maximum file size of 5 MB, and one saved translation.
What do paid plans add?
The Individual plan raises the allowance to 300,000 characters a month with 3 file translations, Team to 1,000,000 characters with 20 file translations, and Business to 100 file translations a month. DeepL Write Pro is available as a paid add-on.
Does DeepL offer a nonprofit discount?
No nonprofit rate is published. DeepL states that discounts may be available for a subscription covering a large number of users and are assessed case by case, so a nonprofit with volume needs should ask directly rather than assume a discount.
Can a nonprofit share one free account across staff?
The free allowance is stated per user per month, so a shared login would divide one user's allowance rather than create extra capacity. Teams that need more volume should compare the paid plans against the free cap.
