If I have a one-million-word novel to translate, what is the estimated cost?
“Translating long-form content is a typically cost-sensitive task, requiring users to estimate the overall budget upfront.”
Root Cause Analysis
Average Rate Reference
Shangyi AI’s average rate is approximately 1 USD per 20,000 words. For a one-million-word project, the estimated theoretical cost is about 50 USD (around 350 yuan). Compared to human translation, which often costs several tens of thousands, our costs are reduced by two orders of magnitude.
Tiered Points Discounts
For large-volume translation needs, we recommend purchasing high-value points packages. Large-volume packages typically include extra bonus credits, further reducing your per-word translation cost and delivering even greater cost-effectiveness.
Final Solution Summary
Ultra-low costs make web novels going global or in-depth personal study of major works easily achievable.
