This morning I decided to check SDL Trados 2019 prices.

As far as I remember, Proz kept advertising some discounts.

SDL Trados Freelance via Proz is offered at 556 euros (605 dollars) whereas the official site offers the same for $540 dollars. Was it because I inquired as a non-member? Does Proz, a US-based site, follow European pricing? Why is Proz price higher than the manufacturer's retail price?

Also, what does "one-time payment per user" mean? I mean is it "forever" before upgrades but only if I would wish so, or are there any hidden yet mandatory annual charges for license renewal?

Thank you.

Hi Irina,

If the information you refer to is the one located in the address https://sdl.proz.com/ (found in the navigation menu), this is a page built and provided by SDL Plc. and hosted by ProZ.com as part of their advertising solutions on the platform. Prices and sale conditions are set by SDL Plc. and sales themselves are hosted on their own storefront, with ProZ.com not taking part in these transactions. I will however make sure to let the SDL Marketing team know of your observations regarding the price on this site and their own website, in case an update of the content is due.

There are not any annual charges associated with the purchase of a new license or an upgrade, but there is an annual fee if you choose to purchase the additional Premium Support and Maintenance Agreement (it's optional, and the owner gets free upgrades as soon as new versions of their owned SDL products are released). If you have any further questions about this, please refer to SDL support here: https://www.sdltrados.com/support/faqs.html and their live chat at https://www.sdltrados.com/support/

If you are interested in SDL Trados Studio 2019 offers, there are Translator Group Buy campaigns available here: https://www.proz.com/tgb

If you received any advertising email or have noticed any inconsistency in any of the communications you received from ProZ.com, please feel free to reach out to [email protected] or [email protected] so I can look into it.

I hope this helps clarify, please feel free to reach out if there is anything else I can help with.

Thank you Rocio Apr 17, 2020

For your prompt and comprehensive reply.

I navigated to Tools > Translation tools > SDL Trados.

I might wait a bit and see if any changes will be made there. In any case, I will have a 30-day trial. So far, $540 is not a bad deal in itself, but maybe Proz would combine it with some sweet offer too.
