Smartcat vs. Translate.com

ABBY SmartCAT is truly a universal solution that can fit any type of organization from freelancers flying solo, to small team of translators and large translation agencies. 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.

The user interface is excellent and straightforward. There are different levels of translation this application offers, and each level is priced differently. We can choose between a translator machine or a human translator.
