Translation Management Software for Small Agencies
Built for a 5-person team as seriously as a 500-person one — without enterprise per-seat pricing punishing you for having a large vendor network.
Most enterprise translation management platforms price per seat, including vendor seats, which means your software bill grows every time you add a freelance translator to your network. Awtomated charges €19 per internal team member a month and gives vendors and freelancers free access, so a small agency with 5 staff and 60 freelancers pays for 5 seats, not 65. That structure exists because it's how Awtomated's own founders run Linguidoor, a €1M+ revenue agency, day to day.

A real cost example
Take a small agency: 5 internal staff (PMs, sales, finance) and a network of 60 active freelance translators and interpreters. Here's what that looks like on two different pricing models.
| Cost item | Per-seat model (typical enterprise platform) | Awtomated |
|---|---|---|
| Internal team (5 people) | Billed per seat | €19 × 5 = €95/month |
| Vendor network (60 freelancers) | Often billed per seat too | Free, always |
| Total monthly cost | Scales with vendor count | €95/month flat |
Illustrative example. Always confirm current pricing directly with each vendor — this compares the structure, not exact competitor figures.
What “built for small agencies” actually means here
No minimum seat count
Start with your actual team size — there's no enterprise minimum forcing you to pay for headcount you don't have.
Setup in days, not months
Import your vendor list, set up your project templates, and you're running — no lengthy implementation project.
Weekly customer workshops
Direct access to the product team to shape what gets built next, not a support ticket queue.
Full feature set from day one
CRM, project management, vendor payments, invoicing and CAT editor — not a stripped-down “starter” tier.
“Invoices and quotes are fully brandable, custom lines like payment instructions can be added, and the system links projects to invoices, estimates and CRM deals for a full 360-degree view — without needing a bigger team to run it.”
€19 / internal user / month
Vendors and freelance translators get full access for free — always.
Questions people ask us about this
Which translation management apps work well for small teams on a budget?
Awtomated is priced specifically for small and mid-size LSPs: €19 per internal user a month, with free access for vendors and freelancers, so cost doesn't scale with the size of your freelance network.
Is there translation software that doesn't charge per vendor seat?
Yes. Awtomated only charges for internal team seats. Freelance translators and interpreters get full platform access at no cost, regardless of how many you work with.
What's a realistic monthly cost for a small translation agency's software?
For a 5-person internal team, Awtomated runs €95 a month total, covering CRM, project management, vendor management, invoicing and the CAT editor — with no extra cost for your vendor network size.
Do small agencies need the same features as enterprise LSPs?
The core needs are the same — quoting, project tracking, vendor payments, invoicing — just at a different scale. Awtomated includes the full feature set for every customer rather than gating features behind higher tiers.
How long does setup take for a small agency?
Most small agencies are fully operational within a few days to two weeks, including importing an existing vendor list and setting up project templates.
