People bring OmegaT in for a freelance translator who wants translation memory and fuzzy matching without paying for a trados or memoq licence, a small language service provider standardising on a free tool for individual translators before investing in a shared tms, a translator working with files from clients using commercial cat tools, leveraging okapi’s format support for compatibility, a developer or power user who wants to inspect, modify or extend the tool since it is open source under the gplv3. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to OmegaT are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for OmegaT
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
OmegaT runs on windows, macos, linux, and is published by OmegaT open source project of Volunteer-maintained, no fixed headquarters. The full record is on the OmegaT review, and the rest of the category is under best translation tools.
