DeepL Write in depth

Read the full write-up

Overview

DeepL Write helps people revise text by correcting it, offering alternatives, and rephrasing passages in selected styles and tones. It suits writers who want those controls across desktop, mobile, browser and office apps; the free monthly allowance is useful for occasional work, but frequent users should weigh the add-on cost and caps.

DeepL lists 19 writing languages for Write and 11 supported languages for the broader service. Those figures cover different scopes and should not be conflated. The free version allows 50,000 characters per user each month and one file translation per user each month, with a 5 MB file-size limit.

Compare more options in our AI writing assistants and Writing Style Checkers lists.

Key features

Revision choices

Write combines corrections with alternative wording and rephrasing, plus selectable styles and tones. That makes it more flexible than a correction-only pass for users who want to adjust how a passage reads. Its practical fit still depends on whether its 19 listed writing languages cover your work.

Files and workplace controls

The free file allowance is narrow: one translation monthly, and files can be no larger than 5 MB. Team plans add administration, analytics and reporting, and single sign-on. Teams can share a file-translation limit or assign the same limit to each member, which gives administrators a choice between pooling use and setting uniform individual allowances.

DeepL cites ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified processes and infrastructure. For Pro, content is temporarily stored only as technically needed, then deleted unless otherwise specified. These are relevant assurances for organizations assessing how text is handled, alongside their own requirements.

Pricing

Free and individual use

The Free version has limited features, a 50,000-character monthly allowance per user, and one file translation per user per month for files up to 5 MB. It is the sensible starting point for light use, but regular file work or heavier character volumes can run into its stated caps.

Write Pro costs €6.99 a month, billed annually, VAT included. It is an AI writing assistant add-on for DeepL Pro Individual or Team, not a standalone plan. Individual is billed annually at €7.49 per month and is free for 30 days, with cancellation allowed anytime. The add-on is a relatively contained way to add Write Pro to an Individual subscription, but the trial and cancellation terms apply to Individual, not as stated to the add-on itself.

Teams and larger organizations

Team is billed annually at €24.99 per user/month, with a 30-day free period and cancellation anytime. Its administration, reporting, sign-on and configurable shared file limits make it the more relevant option for teams managing usage centrally; the per-user price means it is less suited to an individual seeking only revisions.

Business is billed annually at €49.99 per user/month and is marked for purchase. Enterprise has custom pricing and requires contacting sales. The published plan details support a clear distinction in buying route, but not a feature-by-feature comparison of these higher tiers.

Platforms

DeepL lists Android, iOS, macOS and Windows, along with Chrome, Firefox and Edge extensions. Apps are also listed for iPhone, iPad, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and Google Workspace, with integrations for Microsoft Word, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and AI agents. This breadth is a strength for people moving between devices and common workplace tools; the available platforms span more than the core desktop and mobile apps alone.

Support resources include the Help Center and apps and integrations support. DeepL says more than 200,000 businesses globally trust it, though that figure alone does not establish whether its plans suit a particular organization.

Who it's for

DeepL Write is a good fit for individuals who want corrections alongside rephrasing and tone choices, especially if they work across the listed apps and extensions. Free is best for occasional use within its character and file limits. Teams needing administrative controls and single sign-on have a stronger reason to consider Team, while organizations requiring tailored terms can pursue Enterprise custom pricing.

Look elsewhere if your expected usage exceeds the free caps and you do not already want DeepL Pro Individual or Team: Write Pro is an add-on rather than a standalone paid subscription.

Pros and cons

Pro: Corrections, alternatives, rephrasing, and selectable styles and tones give users several ways to revise text rather than just accept a correction pass.

Pro: Desktop, mobile, browser and office-app coverage supports use across multiple work contexts.

Pro: Team administration, analytics, reporting and single sign-on address organizational management needs.

Con: Free use is bounded by 50,000 characters and one file translation per user monthly, with a 5 MB file cap.

Con: Write Pro costs €6.99 a month billed annually and is available only as an add-on to Individual or Team, so it does not provide a standalone paid route.

Con: The 19 Write languages and 11 broader supported languages are separate counts; users should check that the writing-language coverage fits their needs.

Alternatives

LanguageTool is worth considering if its browser, iOS, macOS and Windows coverage suits your workflow; its Basic plan allows 2,000 characters per text field, while Premium Monthly allows 150,000.

Grammarly may fit individual users who want a stated AI-prompt allowance: Free includes 100 AI prompts per month, while Pro includes 2,000 AI prompts per member per month. Its listed platforms are Android and iOS.

QuillBot is an alternative for users seeking paraphrasing with a stated free allowance: up to 100 words, two modes, basic grammar, and limited humanizing and AI Detector features.

Wordtune is a fit for users who want a defined free daily rewrite allowance: Basic includes 10 rewrites and AI suggestions per day, three AI summarizations per month, and unlimited spelling corrections and grammar checks.

Trinka is another freemium writing tool to compare.

Paperpal may suit regular research and writing needs; its Prime plan costs $144 a year, billed annually at $144 a year ($12/month).

ProWritingAid offers a free option aimed at writers taking a first step, with 500 words per report run, two report runs per day, and 10 Rephrases per day.

Sapling is another freemium option, with a free plan that includes 2,000 AI detector characters per check, five AI detector files per batch, and 20 snippets.

Verdict

Choose DeepL Write if you want several ways to revise text and value its broad app and integration coverage, with team controls available for managed use. Its free allowance is bounded, and Write Pro requires an annual DeepL Pro Individual or Team subscription; if you need a standalone paid writing assistant or expect to exceed the free limits, compare alternatives before committing.

Verdict

DeepL Write provides a broad set of text revision options across apps, extensions, and integrations. Check the free character and file limits, and note that Write Pro is an add-on billed annually.
