The daily board resets every night at midnight (Paris).WordRate is a web app for translators who spend too much of the week doing arithmetic. It reads the word count from a source file or a CAT tool analysis log (Trados Studio, memoQ, Wordfast, Phrase), applies the client's rate card with its fuzzy match bands, minimum fees and rush surcharges, and produces a branded PDF quote in about 90 seconds. The same record keeps the glossary, style notes, PO number and delivery date next to the price, so a whole job lives in one place instead of five spreadsheet tabs.
You are reading this on premierdelaclasse.lol, a satirical leaderboard where rank is bought rather than earned. WordRate holds the spot its bid pays for, and that spot says nothing about the software. The figures below come from WordRate's own site, not from us: we count the payment, not the word count.
From analysis log to quote in about 90 seconds
A translation quote is mostly counting and multiplication, which is exactly the part that eats an afternoon when it is done by hand. WordRate reads the word count straight from a source document or from a CAT tool analysis log, so the numbers match what the translator's tool already reported.
From there it applies the matching client rate card: the per-word rate, the fuzzy match bands that discount repeated segments, the minimum fee for tiny jobs and any rush surcharge. The output is a branded PDF the client can approve, generated in roughly 90 seconds rather than assembled cell by cell. WordRate lists support for analysis logs from Trados Studio, memoQ, Wordfast and Phrase.
Rate cards, glossaries and the paperwork around a job
WordRate stores a separate rate card per client, so the freelancer who charges one agency differently from another does not have to remember which is which. According to the site, the app holds 6,120 client rate cards and 1.4 million glossary terms across its users.
Terminology sits in the same place as pricing. Each client record carries the glossary, style notes, PO number and delivery date, which is the paperwork that usually ends up scattered across email threads and spreadsheet tabs. The pitch is less about doing something a spreadsheet cannot and more about keeping it in one searchable record.
Who it is built for
The product is aimed at working translators rather than large enterprises: freelancers juggling several clients, and small language service providers coordinating a handful of vendors. WordRate reports 2,940 active users across 44 US states.
If you already track rates and terms in a spreadsheet, that is the exact workflow it is trying to replace. If you translate for a single client at a single flat rate, most of the machinery here is built for someone with a messier client list than yours.
What it costs
WordRate publishes three monthly plans. Freelance is $15 and covers up to 25 rate cards and 2,500 terms. Busy Freelance is $39 and lifts that to unlimited rate cards, analysis log imports and 50,000 terms. Language Agency is $99 and adds five project manager seats, vendor pricing and API access.
The site notes no setup fees, cancellation at any time and no per-quote charges, so the cost is the flat monthly figure whatever number of quotes you push through it.
