Smartcat is well suited for documents longer than 500 words. It is less appropriate for audio-visual translation.

Cloudwords is well suited for getting translations of specific docs from users who are from a different language speaking area. in the past, we've tried to translate on our own, but it is time consuming and not always accurate, so cloudwords save us time and money with translation services

Cons
  • 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.

We also tried Memsource but it was lacking in terms of overall user experience and ease of use. Assigning projects in SmartCAT is a much more intuitive experience, plus it has all these other additional features that are absent from Memsource (like payment solution for freelancers). On top of that, the SmartCAT is absolutely free to use.
