translate rates, words summed over the array
One unit, the source word. No base fees, no per-call charges: the price of a request is its word count times your tier's rate, nothing else. Deep uses a stronger model than fast. Live and Humanizer are each one more pass over the same words, at the same rate, and they stack: deep with both on is simply the words billed three times. A request always bills at least 30 words, so a one-line call doesn't round to nothing.
- Live cross-checks the translation against how people actually write on the web right now, so idioms, current terms and phrasing match real usage and the result reads clean and native, not literal. It only bills when it actually runs a check, so leave it on and pay for it only when a translation needs one.
- Humanizer rewrites the output to drop the stiff, machine cadence so it reads like a person wrote it.
- Words are whitespace-delimited, so spaces, punctuation and formatting cost nothing. For languages written without spaces (Chinese, Japanese, Thai) each character counts as one word.
- You pay for the tier that serves you, and by default that is exactly the tier you asked for, or an error. Set fallback: true on a request to trade tier for availability: if deep is momentarily unavailable, fast completes the call and it bills as fast (the response's mode says which ran).
