Pricing and Limits

What each tier unlocks, and the daily and monthly limits.

Every limit on this page is per account, not per novel, and they all reset on a fixed clock rather than a rolling window. If you just want to see your own usage right now rather than the general numbers, go to My Limits.

Monthly limits reset on the first day of each calendar month, at 00:00 UTC. Daily limits reset at 00:00 UTC.

A few of these are worth explaining:

  • Novel requests are charged by size: a novel under 200 chapters uses half a request, and a novel over 2,000 chapters uses one more for every 2,000 chapters. See what a request costs.
  • Chapter retranslate + rescrape share one daily count. Retranslating a chapter runs the AI translation again, for when a chapter came out wrong; rescraping fetches the chapter's original text again from the source site, for when the source text itself looks wrong. Both draw from the same daily count.
  • Paragraph/title retranslate is a separate daily count that covers retranslating a single paragraph and retranslating a chapter's title.
  • Glossary suggestions covers editing a term, suggesting a new one, bulk renames, and personal translations: one shared daily count, flat at 200 for every signed-in account, Free included.
  • Wiki reports (flagging something wrong on a wiki page) are flat at 20 a day for every signed-in account.
  • A cached search does not use up your monthly search allowance. You are only charged for a search the site actually runs against a source.

Where to see your usage#

Your current usage, remaining quota, and reset countdown for every limit above are on the My Limits page, once you are signed in.

Linking Patreon#

  1. Choose Continue with Patreon from the sign-in page or sidebar.
  2. Authorize RandomTranslator on Patreon.
  3. Confirm you're redirected back and signed in, with your tier applied automatically.

Your tier is read from your currently entitled Patreon pledge; if you hold more than one tier, the highest applies. Signing in re-checks your tier immediately, and the site also re-checks active memberships automatically every so often in the background.

Warning If you cancel or lower your Patreon pledge, your account's quotas and on-demand translation access drop to match as soon as the site next checks your pledge, usually within a few minutes, and always by your next sign-in. There is no grace period.

Exact current prices are set on Patreon, not on this page: patreon.com/randomtranslator.
