Updated
In short: Papago is ranked #1 of 22 as of 9 October 2026, ahead of iTranslate and PROMT. The best-ranked option with a free plan is iTranslate. The lowest first paid tier on this page is Google Cloud Translation at $0.08/mo.
For translating text, documents, or terminology that needs consistency, the available tools specify different capabilities and access options. Compare languages supported and available platforms, then check document translation, browser extension, and API access against how you intend to work. Glossary support and translation memory are useful criteria when consistent terms matter. PROMT, Lara Translate, and Reverso are among the entries to consider. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing add cost context; weigh those details with the features that suit your translation needs.
