Overview

DeepL Write combines text-improvement tools with browser extensions, apps, and integrations. DeepL lists 19 languages for Write; its separate figure of 11 supported languages describes a different scope, so the two should not be conflated.

Its clearest appeal is flexibility: users can revise wording in standalone apps or from supported extensions and work software. The free version provides a way to use it without a paid plan, though the character and file allowances make it a less natural fit for heavy monthly use.

Key features

Revision choices

Write offers corrections, alternatives, and rephrasing, along with selectable writing styles and tones. That breadth is useful when a writer wants more than error correction, but the stated feature set is about improving text rather than a broader writing workflow.

Free usage limits

The free version allows 50,000 characters per user each month and one file translation per user each month, with files up to 5 MB. That can cover occasional revisions and a small file task; regular users or people handling larger files may find the allowances restrictive.

Security and team controls

DeepL cites ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified processes and infrastructure. For Pro, content is temporarily retained only as technically needed, then deleted unless otherwise specified. Team plans add administration, analytics and reporting, and single sign-on; teams can pool a file-translation limit or assign the same limit to each member. Those controls make the paid team offering more relevant to organizations than the free version.

Pricing

DeepL Write is freemium. The Free version has limited features, with 50,000 characters and one file translation per user per month, for files up to 5 MB. It is the sensible starting point for occasional use, but the recurring character allowance may not suit sustained high-volume editing.

Write Pro costs 6.99 EUR per month (billed annually, VAT included). It is an AI writing assistant add-on for DeepL Pro Individual or Team, not a standalone plan, so the entry price does not represent the full cost for someone who does not already have one of those plans.

DeepL Pro Individual is billed annually at €7.49 per month, is free for 30 days, and can be cancelled anytime. Team is billed annually at €24.99 per user/month, also free for 30 days with cancellation anytime; its per-user terms and team controls fit organizations rather than solo writers. Business is billed annually at €49.99 per user/month and has a Buy now option. Enterprise has custom pricing and requires contacting sales. These are DeepL Pro plan prices; Write Pro remains an add-on for Individual or Team.

Platforms

DeepL lists Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, plus extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Apps are also listed for iPhone, iPad, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Google Workspace. Integrations include Microsoft Word, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and AI agents. That spread is useful for people who switch between desktop, mobile, browsers, and office software; the breadth does not remove the free-plan quotas.

Support resources include a Help Center and apps and integrations support.

Who it's for

DeepL Write is a good fit for individuals who need regular wording revisions across devices and already pay for DeepL Pro Individual, as well as teams that value administration, reporting, sign-on, and flexible file-limit sharing. Occasional writers can begin with the free plan. It is a weaker fit for frequent users who need to avoid a paid base plan plus the Write Pro add-on, or whose monthly work exceeds the free caps.

Pros and cons

Pros: Corrections, alternatives, rephrasing, and selectable styles and tones give writers several ways to reshape text.
Pros: Browser, desktop, and mobile availability, with office-product integrations, supports use across common work contexts.
Pros: Team administration, analytics and reporting, SSO, and configurable file-limit sharing address organizational needs.
Cons: Free use is capped at 50,000 characters and one file translation per user monthly, with a 5 MB file ceiling.
Cons: Write Pro costs extra and requires a DeepL Pro Individual or Team plan, making the stated add-on price only part of the outlay for new customers.

Alternatives

For a different set of writing tools, compare options in our AI writing assistants and Writing Style Checkers lists.

LanguageTool is another freemium option, with extensions and iOS, macOS, and Windows support; choose it if its 2,000-character Basic or 150,000-character Premium Monthly text-field limits better suit your editing volume.

Wordtune offers a free Basic plan with 10 rewrites and AI suggestions per day, three AI summarizations per month, and unlimited spelling corrections and grammar checks; consider it if those daily rewrite and monthly summary allowances fit your routine.

Grammarly has a Free plan for individuals with 100 AI prompts per month and a Pro plan at 12.00 USD per month with 2,000 AI prompts per member per month; it may suit readers who prefer a prompt allowance as the basis for comparing plans.

Paperpal offers a Prime subscription for regular research and writing needs at 144.00 USD per year ($12/month; billed annually); readers focused on that stated use case can compare it with DeepL Write.

ProWritingAid has a free plan for writers taking a first step, with limits including 500 words per report run, two report runs per day, and 10 Rephrases per day; it is worth considering if those bounded report and rephrase allowances suit your work.

QuillBot has a free plan with paraphrasing up to 100 words, two modes, and basic grammar; choose it if that shorter free paraphrasing allowance is enough for your needs.

Sapling is a freemium alternative with API, extension, self-hosted, web, and Windows platforms.

Trinka is another freemium alternative.

Verdict

DeepL Write is best for people who want flexible text revision across devices and work apps, and especially for teams that can use its administration and sign-on controls. Its strongest case is the combination of revision options and broad access points; its main drawback is that Write Pro is an add-on to a paid Individual or Team plan, while free use has clear monthly caps. Start free for occasional edits, but compare alternatives if you need more generous routine use without that layered cost.
