DeepL Write

Overview

DeepL Write is a writing assistant for people who want to correct, reshape or adjust the tone of text. It suits individuals who need those tools across apps and browsers, and teams that value shared administration and sign-in controls. Its free allowance makes it easy to start, but regular users may need a paid plan for more capacity.

Key features

Revision and language options

Write can correct text, suggest alternatives and rephrase passages, with selectable writing styles and tones. That range is useful when a simple correction is not enough and you want to change how a passage reads. DeepL lists 19 writing languages for Write and separately reports 11 supported languages; those figures refer to different scopes.

Apps and integrations

DeepL offers Write through Android and iOS apps, Windows and Mac apps, and Chrome, Firefox and Edge extensions. It also lists integrations with Word, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and AI agents. That breadth gives users several ways to reach the writing tools, though the product’s appeal will depend on whether those options fit their existing workflow.

Files, privacy and support

The free version allows 50,000 characters per user each month and one file translation per user each month, with a maximum file size of 5 MB. Those limits are a meaningful constraint for heavier use or frequent document translation. DeepL says its processes and infrastructure are certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II standards; for Pro, content is stored temporarily only as technically needed and then deleted unless otherwise specified. Support resources include a Help Center and apps and integrations support.

Pricing

DeepL Write is freemium. The Free version has limited features, with a monthly allowance of 50,000 characters per user and one file translation up to 5 MB. It is the sensible starting point for occasional use, but the file quota and character cap can make it unsuitable for a regular high-volume workflow.

Write Pro is a paid add-on to DeepL Pro Individual or Team: €6.99 a month, billed annually, VAT included. The add-on is the lowest stated paid entry point for users who already have an eligible Individual or Team plan; it is not presented as a standalone subscription.

DeepL Pro Individual is billed annually at €7.49 per month and is free for 30 days, with cancellation available anytime. Team is billed annually at €24.99 per user/month and is also free for 30 days, with cancellation available anytime. Team plans add administration, analytics and reporting, single sign-on, and the option to pool the file translation limit or assign the same limit to each member. Business is billed annually at €49.99 per user/month. Enterprise has custom pricing and requires contacting sales. The higher Pro plans make most sense where team controls or enterprise arrangements matter; the published plan information does not make them necessary for an individual seeking writing revision alone.

Platforms

DeepL Write is available on Android, iOS, Windows and macOS, with browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge. The wider app and integration lineup includes iPhone and iPad, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and Google Workspace, plus Microsoft 365 and AI agent integrations.

Who it's for

DeepL Write is a good fit for people who want correction, alternative phrasing and tone choices in a service accessible across desktop, mobile and browser environments. It is less compelling for users who routinely exceed the free character allowance or need more than one monthly file translation but do not want to buy the associated Pro plan. Teams may find the administration and sign-in controls useful, particularly where shared file limits need to be managed.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Multiple revision approaches. Corrections, alternatives, rephrasing and selectable styles and tones address more than typo fixing.
• Pros: Broad access options. Desktop and mobile apps, three browser extensions and listed software integrations can accommodate different work setups.
• Pros: Team controls. Team administration, reporting, single sign-on and flexible file-limit allocation are useful for organizational use.
• Cons: Tight free file quota. One translation per user per month, capped at 5 MB, will not suit frequent document work.
• Cons: Annual billing matters. The stated Write Pro add-on price is billed annually and requires an Individual or Team subscription.

Verdict

Choose DeepL Write if you want a versatile text revision assistant with multiple ways to access it, and the free limits or annual Pro add-on suit your workload. Its strongest case is the combination of rephrasing and tone controls with broad app and integration coverage. Look elsewhere if the free file quota is too restrictive or you need a standalone paid writing plan rather than an add-on to DeepL Pro Individual or Team.
