Reverso

Overview

Reverso combines translation, dictionaries, writing correction and adaptive language learning in one service. It is a strong fit for people who move between phrase-level questions, language practice and formatted documents. Its breadth is appealing, but the annual document quotas and Pro file limits matter if translation is part of a regular production workflow.

Key features

Reverso Context pairs dictionary lookup with examples drawn from AI-processed bilingual texts across more than 100 language pairs. That makes it useful when the right wording depends on context, rather than just a direct word-for-word equivalent.

Reverso Documents translates professional files in 29 languages, preserves their layout and can produce up to three target languages at once. Users can upload files, review translated segments, collaborate and download formatted PDF, DOCX or PPTX files. This is a more complete workflow than translating pasted text, though the annual word allowance on Premium and file limits on Pro constrain heavier use.

The browser extension works with Chrome, Edge and Firefox, including word translation in Netflix and YouTube subtitles. The Reverso Context mobile app adds voice and camera translation, offline dictionaries, pronunciation practice and flashcard quizzes. Premium also includes an add-in for Word, PowerPoint and Outlook, a practical fit for people who translate or correct text within those applications.

Reverso Documents transfers use TLS, files are encrypted at rest, and hosting is in Europe under GDPR compliance. Its infrastructure is certified against SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Users can set files to delete immediately after download; retention can extend to one month on Free and one year on Premium and Pro. The API supports batch processing of up to 20 files per call, translation memory, and retrieval as a file or base64.

Pricing

The free plan is a useful starting point, and Reverso offers a free trial. Premium Annual costs €6.49 a year, billed one time at 77.88 EUR. It gives unlimited text translation up to 8,000 characters at once, documents up to 50,000 words per year and grammar checking up to 5,000 characters at once. The annual term lowers the monthly equivalent, but requires paying for the year upfront.

Premium costs €9.99 a month, billed monthly, with the same text, document and grammar-checking limits. It suits people who want the Premium feature set without an annual commitment, but the 50,000-word yearly document allowance may not suit sustained document work. Premium includes the MS Office add-in.

Pro costs €19.99 a month, billed monthly. It raises the document allowance to 200,000 words per year and supports unlimited documents, files up to 120 MB and PDFs up to 250 pages. Choose it for larger or more frequent jobs; it is still governed by an annual word cap and per-file limits.

Enterprise & API has custom pricing for custom volumes, teams and many users. It includes an API, an SSO option and dedicated customer support; a named account manager handles onboarding, support and ongoing optimization. This is the natural tier for team or API workflows, rather than a solo user comparing fixed monthly plans.

Platforms

Reverso is available on web, Android, iOS, macOS and Windows, with a browser extension and API access. The extension supports Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Mobile users get the Context app's voice and camera translation, offline dictionaries and learning features; API access supports document workflows programmatically.

Who it's for

Reverso is best for individuals who want translation and language-learning tools together, and for professionals who need translated documents that retain their layout. Premium makes sense for regular text work and moderate document volume; Pro is the better fit for larger annual document workloads. Teams needing custom volumes, SSO or API access should consider Enterprise & API. If the main need is high-volume documents beyond Pro's limits, Reverso may not be the right fit.

Pros and cons

Pros: Context examples across 100+ language pairs help with phrase meaning and usage, not just basic lookup.

Pros: Document translation preserves layout, supports three target languages at once and includes segment review and collaboration.

Pros: Mobile learning tools, browser translation and an Office add-in extend the service beyond a standalone translator.

Pros: Document security controls include encryption at rest, European hosting and immediate-deletion settings.

Cons: Premium's 50,000-word annual document quota is restrictive for frequent professional translation.

Cons: Pro costs more and still imposes a 200,000-word annual cap, 120 MB file limit and 250-page PDF limit.

Cons: The annual Premium price requires a one-time 77.88 EUR payment, while monthly Premium costs more over a full year.

Verdict
