PROMT review
A broad translation portfolio with lifetime desktop licenses and document-focused tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PROMT is a machine-translation portfolio for private users, translators, developers, and enterprises. It covers text, webpages, correspondence, documents, and mobile translation, with web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android options. The portfolio includes a free online translator and mobile apps, alongside desktop software, a cloud document service, and on-premise neural translation software. That range makes PROMT a fit for users who need more than a single browser translator, especially those comparing offline, desktop, document, or sensitive-data workflows.
Pricing is split across distinct products rather than one unified plan. PROMT Lite costs $39 as a one-time purchase and includes a lifetime license for everyday translation with one language pair. PROMT Start costs $45 for 3 months and provides browser-based cloud translation for entire documents, with original structure and formatting preserved and 10 language pairs. PROMT Master NMT costs $199 as a one-time purchase and includes a lifetime Windows license, neural machine translation, document support for DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF, ODF, XML, and HTML, plus translation customization, user dictionaries, and translation memory. The free online translator adds a no-cost entry point.
PROMT’s strongest differentiator is its coverage of professional translation workflows. The portfolio includes PROMT Agent popup translation in applications and browsers, integrations with Trados Studio and Memsource, and connections with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Active Directory, and Adobe Reader/Acrobat. Enterprise options add on-premise deployment for sensitive data, while mobile apps provide voice input and phrasebook features. Choose PROMT if you want a mix of desktop, cloud, mobile, and on-premise translation with one-time purchase options. Choose another tool if you need a single unified subscription or if Windows compatibility does not suit your workflow.
