Pricing questions
What happens when I use up the free online translations?
Typeferry switches to on-device translation for the rest of the day. On-device translation has no daily limit. It uses the translation built into macOS, covers fewer languages and is generally less accurate.
Is there a limit on how much text I can translate?
Online translation takes up to 1,000 characters per input-bar request and 3,000 characters per screenshot or window request. Longer text is translated on your Mac.
How much can I translate online with Pro?
Pro does not limit the number of online translations. Each Pro account can translate up to 300,000 characters online a day and 2,000,000 a month, including screenshot translation, shared by all the Macs signed in to it. Past the monthly limit, you still get 30,000 characters of online AI translation a day for the rest of that month. Days start at 00:00 UTC, and months on the 1st at 00:00 UTC.
How many Macs can I use?
One Pro account can be signed in on up to 3 Macs at the same time. To move Pro to another Mac, sign out on a Mac you no longer use. A Mac that has not checked in for 14 days frees its slot automatically.
Does Pro work offline?
Yes, for a while. The app checks your subscription about once a day, and Pro keeps working offline for up to 7 days after the last successful check. Online translation always checks your subscription when you use it.
Who sells it, and what about tax?
On the website, Pro is sold through Creem or Paddle. Whichever you check out with is the merchant of record: it takes your payment, charges and pays any sales tax or VAT, and sends your invoice or receipt. Prices are shown at checkout and may include or add tax depending on where you live. We do not receive or store your card or bank details.
In the Mac App Store edition, Apple handles payment, and prices are shown in your local currency. Pro bought on the website does not work in the App Store edition, and an App Store subscription does not work in the website edition.
Does Pro renew automatically?
Yes. Pro is billed monthly or yearly and renews automatically until you cancel. Cancel any time: on the website, through the link in your receipt email from Creem or Paddle; in the App Store edition, in your App Store account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and Pro keeps working until then.
Can I get a refund?
