Home » Compare Comparing Wordfast Pro 3 and Smartcat Which software is better? Here is a rundown of features and reviews to help you make your decision. | |  |  | | Name | Wordfast Pro 3 | Smartcat | | Review breakdown | | | | Most helpful review | Quite good, especially for the young translator I started with the demo version of this tool and later on bought the licence. It's quite easy to use and has the basic functionalities needed by a young translator. Compared to other CAT tools, there are a lot of improvements to make. It is however worth its price.
It is a good entry level tool for those new to the translation industry, especially its demo version. Unlike other cat tools, you can import and export TMs even with the demo version. The only limitation is the size of the TM.
Wordfast still has a long way to go in order to match other CAT tools. You will soon feel the need to buy other CAT tools: Trados which seems to be the most used by agencies, MemoQ which a good number of freelancers enjoy, Deja V, etc.
NB: for those living in developing economies (Africa, India, etc.), you don't need to buy Wordfast through Proz TGB. A 50% discount is offered through their website. On TGB, you only have 40% discount, and will wait for weeks for the buy to close.21 out of 22 found this review helpful.
Read more reviews → | Great tool. Very comfort and helpful I used this tool above year and be cool with it. Program is constant in progress and getting better. I'm using it for freelance translation and can tell that this tool easy in use and have a lot of free helpful option. Machine translation is paid, but not expansive. Quality of this translation is not excellent, but, hey, where did you see great machine translation? It's just a help instrument, and it's more better Google translate(for example). I really recommend SmartCat. Just try!10 out of 13 found this review helpful.
