Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are these prices?
All prices are based on each provider's official pricing page as of 2026. Google Translate charges $20/M characters, DeepL API Pro charges $25/M plus a $5.49/month base fee, Microsoft Translator charges $10/M (with 2M free), Amazon Translate charges $15/M, Langbly charges $5/M (with 500K free), and SocketsIO charges $2.50/M (with 500K free). We update these figures regularly.
Does SocketsIO use Google Translate under the hood?
No. SocketsIO runs its own Google-grade Neural Machine Translation (NMT) engine. You get the same translation quality you'd expect from tier-1 providers, at a fraction of the cost. Our API is wire-compatible with Google Translate v2, so migration is seamless.
Can I migrate from Google Translate?
Yes — it takes about 30 seconds. SocketsIO is fully compatible with the Google Translate v2 API. Just change the base URL in your code from translation.googleapis.com to api.socketsio.com. That's it. Same request format, same response format, same language codes. One line change.
