Anyone who wants to establish themselves as a professional translator can benefit greatly from the CAT tool that SmartCAT offers absolutely free of charge, while teams will surely appreciate the collaborative features that make it possible to work simultaneously with other translators, proofreaders, editors and QA experts on a single project.

Pros	Smartcat Segmentation. Translation overall quality. Customer service. Pricing. Incentivized Andre Dumoulin Translator Read full review	RWS Group No answers on this topic
Cons	Smartcat Performance has been an issue initially. Sometimes it takes longer for some things to load and it can be frustrating. UI seems a bit confusing at times. For example, I don't understand why I need to have a translator's profile when I'm clearly a project manager. Their support team can take a long time to reply which often crucial for urgent projects.

Alternatives Considered	Smartcat I regularly use the two other products and appreciate Smartcat including more features than MateCat, such as storing of projects and contact with agencies and clients. Incentivized Andre Dumoulin Translator Read full review	RWS Group No answers on this topic

Team collaboration made it easier for us to grow our business and take on bigger projects, which brings us more revenue. Payment solution helps us save money on wire transfer fees which is always great when working with multiple freelancers.
