  Unbabel is a sales-led, enterprise Language Operations platform. There is no
  public self-service price list for the Translation API; pricing is quoted per
  customer and generally combines a platform/subscription fee with per-word (or
  per-character) translation charges that step down with volume, typically under
  a minimum monthly volume commitment. Third-party marketplaces have reported
  tiers in the range of roughly $10k/month (Starter) to $120k/month (Enterprise)
  plus custom Pay-As-You-Go, but these are not official Unbabel figures. Unbabel
  also offers newer self-service options and the standalone Widn.AI product,
  which is priced separately. Treat all amounts here as directional until
  reconciled with an Unbabel quote.
notes: >-
  Contact sales@unbabel.com or visit unbabel.com/pricing for a current quote. The
  API itself carries no separate fee beyond the translation volume it drives.
  Widn.AI (widn.ai) is priced independently of the Unbabel Translation API.
