Pricing FAQ

How is German localization priced?

Localization is typically priced per word based on domain complexity, terminology density and required formatting. Transcreation and UX/UI QA are priced separately depending on scope.

What is the difference between localization and transcreation pricing?

Localization adapts content linguistically and culturally. Transcreation rewrites copy to match German UX expectations, conversion goals and brand tone — reflected in a higher per-word rate.

Do you offer monthly retainers?

Yes. We offer Starter, Growth and Enterprise retainers for teams that need continuous localization, transcreation or UX QA support.

Can I get a proposal before committing?

Yes. Send your Figma link, website or content files and receive a personalized pricing proposal within 24 hours.

Are Figma visual QA and glossary updates included?

Terminology alignment and brand tone consistency are included in all plans. Figma visual QA and glossary updates are available as optional add-ons or included in selected retainers.
