The review
Overview
DeepL Write is a text-revision tool for people who want to correct, reshape, or adjust the tone of existing writing. It suits individuals who need those options across several devices, and teams that want shared administration controls; the free character and file allowances may be restrictive for heavier use.
Its range of revision choices is a strength, but the paid writing assistant is an add-on to a DeepL Pro plan rather than a standalone paid tier. That makes it a more natural fit for people already considering DeepL’s broader services than for someone seeking only a writing tool.

Key features
Revision choices and languages
Write can correct text, suggest alternatives, rephrase passages, and apply selectable styles and tones. That range is useful when a writer wants more than a correction pass, though the stated features focus on revising text rather than a broader writing workflow. DeepL lists 19 languages for Write and separately cites 11 supported languages; those figures cover different scopes and should not be conflated.
Monthly quotas and files
The free version allows 50,000 characters per user per month and one file translation per user per month, with a 5 MB maximum per file. That provides a defined allowance for occasional use, but regular high-volume writers may reach the character cap or file limit. The file quota is specifically described as file translation, not as an additional writing allowance.
Security and team controls
DeepL cites ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified processes and infrastructure. For Pro, content is temporarily stored only as technically needed, then deleted unless otherwise specified. Team plans add administration, analytics and reporting, and single sign-on; teams can share a file translation limit or assign the same limit to each member. Those controls make the team offering more relevant to managed use than the individual add-on.
Pricing
The free version has limited features, with 50,000 characters and one file translation per user each month, and a 5 MB file ceiling. DeepL’s paid-from rate is €6.99/user/mo (annual). Write Pro is priced at €6.99 a month, billed annually with VAT included, and is available only as an add-on to DeepL Pro Individual or Team. It includes the AI writing assistant; the add-on requirement means the quoted rate is not the whole cost for someone who does not already have an eligible plan.
DeepL Pro Individual is billed annually at €7.49 per month, is free for 30 days, and can be cancelled anytime. Team is billed annually at €24.99 per user/month, also free for 30 days with cancellation anytime; it is the more relevant base plan for teams that need administration and shared-limit options. Business is billed annually at €49.99 per user/month. Enterprise has custom pricing and requires contacting sales. The free version suits light use; the paid tiers are better aligned with users who need higher-tier plans or team controls, but the listed rates are annual-billing terms.
Platforms
DeepL Write is listed for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, with mobile and desktop apps. Browser extensions are available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. DeepL also lists apps for iPad, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Google Workspace, plus integrations with Microsoft Word, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and AI agents. This spread suits people who move between devices and common productivity tools; the Help Center and apps and integrations support are the stated support channels.
Who it's for
Choose DeepL Write if you regularly revise existing text, want control over tone and phrasing, and can work within the free monthly caps or justify a Pro add-on. It is also worth considering for teams already evaluating DeepL plans, since team administration, reporting, sign-on, and limit-sharing options address group management. It is a weaker fit for someone seeking a standalone paid writing assistant or for free users whose writing volume exceeds the monthly allowance.
Pros and cons
- Pros: Corrections, alternatives, rephrasing, and selectable styles and tones give users several ways to reshape a passage rather than just accept a single correction.
- Pros: Apps, browser extensions, and integrations cover major desktop and mobile platforms and several productivity tools.
- Pros: Team controls include administration, reporting, single sign-on, and flexible handling of file translation limits.
- Cons: The free plan is capped at 50,000 characters and one file translation per user monthly, with files limited to 5 MB.
- Cons: Write Pro is an add-on to Individual or Team, so its annual €6.99 monthly rate does not stand alone.
- Cons: The 19 writing-language figure and 11 supported-language figure refer to different scopes, which readers should keep separate when judging coverage.
Alternatives
Content Checker is a free app with offline support on Android, iOS, and macOS, making it a better match for readers who prioritize offline use.
PerfectIt is a paid option with a free trial, supporting consistency, acronyms, house styles, built-in styles, and offline work for 1–3 users; choose it when those editorial controls are the priority.
ProWritingAid offers a free plan for writers taking a first step, with report-run, rephrase, and Sparks limits; it may suit readers who want to start with those bounded free tools.
Trinka is another freemium option for readers comparing writing tools.
DeepL Translator is the closer choice when translation is the main need: its free plan includes 50,000 characters per user each month, one file translation, files up to 5 MB, and a glossary allowance.
Revise is another freemium alternative for readers considering a web, API, or self-hosted option.
Sapling has a free plan and browser-extension, web, API, self-hosted, and Windows options; it is an alternative for readers comparing those deployment choices.
StyleMCP offers a free API-oriented plan with 5,000 requests per month and basic rule-based rewrites, which may suit readers looking for a request-capped rewrite option.
Verdict
DeepL Write is a sound choice for individuals and teams who want several ways to revise text and value broad app and integration coverage. Its clearest reasons to look elsewhere are the modest free quotas and the requirement to pair Write Pro with an Individual or Team plan.
