Pricing, free access & limits

Modular subscription - separate products (TMS, Strings, Language AI, Orchestrator) priced per seat plus volume

Plans described in the source

Phrase Strings starts around $27-33/user/mo for small teams. Phrase TMS entry tiers start in the low hundreds per month. Language AI is priced by translated character/word volume on top. Enterprise bundles quoted annually and typically run into five or six figures per year. There is no simple single price - the modular structure means a quote is required for anything beyond the smallest Strings plan.

Usage limits to consider

Each module has its own seat and volume limits; Language AI character volumes are metered; advanced features (Custom AI, Orchestrator, Auto LQA) are enterprise-tier only.

Limitations to consider

• The most complex product here - implementation typically needs weeks and often a partner
• modular pricing is genuinely difficult to forecast
• expensive
• heavy administrative overhead for small teams
