Hello,
looking for an alternative to Plunet business manager, which is overpriced.
I also don't need NMT integration, just a decent software to use when I assign translation projects. So, I would need users/translators to create account and accept/reject business projects when prompted via email.

Is there something cheaper than Plunet?
Thank you ▲ Collapse

...currently viewing user experience on those two. It looks like I'll be picking the least terrible option.

Not sure what's so terrible about XTRF. I have one agency client that has been using this system for years, and at least from my side this seems to be a well functioning system.

Hi, did you have a look at Wordfast Anywhere?
You can create multilingual projects and assign files, glossaries and MT. Source and target files can be moved in and out through clouds like Drop Box, Google docs and off course simple upload and download.
Payment is credit based, so you buy a month or more when you use it. Price is 9.99 USD for a month , 3 month bundle gets 15% off, 10-month bundle gets 30% off.
On top of this, users living and working in countries with developing economies get 50% off.
The trial is 1 USD.
I have a few videos on it on my channel. This one described the PM side, it was published when WFA was still free but it still works basically the same way. https://youtu.be/NXDmijlzcSg?si=qLFurBEDxM-R9HmY
Hope this is useful

I like almost everything about XTRF, except the very regular forced logouts and quarterly password changes. Typical "security" circus.
Then again, for all I know that might be a setting chosen on the agency side?
Anyway, XTRF works fine, although I couldn't tell you anything about pricing.
