User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Smartcat is well suited for documents longer than 500 words. It is less appropriate for audio-visual translation. Incentivized Andre Dumoulin Translator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Segmentation. Translation overall quality. Customer service. Pricing. Incentivized Andre Dumoulin Translator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Performance has been an issue initially. Sometimes it takes longer for some things to load and it can be frustrating. UI seems a bit confusing at times. For example, I don't understand why I need to have a translator's profile when I'm clearly a project manager. Their support team can take a long time to reply which often crucial for urgent projects.

Alternatives Considered	We also tried Memsource but it was lacking in terms of overall user experience and ease of use. Assigning projects in SmartCAT is a much more intuitive experience, plus it has all these other additional features that are absent from Memsource (like payment solution for freelancers). On top of that, the SmartCAT is absolutely free to use. Dmitry Kornyukhov English-Russian Video Game Localization Specialist Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Translation memories and CAT tool help us ensure maximum consistency in our translations which is always appreciated by clients. Team collaboration made it easier for us to grow our business and take on bigger projects, which brings us more revenue. Payment solution helps us save money on wire transfer fees which is always great when working with multiple freelancers.
