Scored by a Toolio reviewer after real useOur verdict
OpenL handles everyday text, scanned PDFs, and images across more than 100 languages, with a side panel for selecting and translating text as you browse. The entry Starter plan runs $8.90 a month and caps you at a handful of image and scanned-PDF translations per day, while Pro and Ultimate raise those limits and add features like Translate Agent and better OCR. Even the top Ultimate tier throttles advanced credits after 4,000 uses a month unless you contact support to lift the cap.
