POEditor plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full POEditor feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- String based billing
- Format coverage
- Translation memory
- API and webhooks
- Machine translation
- Contributor roles
People bring POEditor in for software with many target languages and a volunteer or community translator pool, development teams that want new strings pushed from continuous integration and translations pulled back automatically, small companies that cannot justify per seat pricing for translators who work occasionally, open source projects that qualify for the free plan and need real workflow rather than a spreadsheet. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to POEditor are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Translation

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the POEditor badges page.
Before you pay for POEditor
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: 4 tiers between Free and $59.99/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
POEditor runs on web, and is published by POEditor of Bucharest, Romania. The full record is on the POEditor review, and the rest of the category is under best translation tools.
