Pigona vs TranslateBot

TranslateBot (translatebot.app, by Positive Square) prices itself the same way NVU.IO's Discord Translator does - buy a pack of characters once, use it until it runs out - though the two are unrelated products with different numbers. No AI or context-aware translation is claimed anywhere on their site.

1. Pay once for a pack, or pay monthly for an allowance

TranslateBot sells four packs: a $0 Demo (15,000 characters, one time only), Silver ($9.99 for 225,000 characters), Gold ($19.99 for 550,000 characters, their "most popular"), and Platinum ($39.99 for 1,200,000 characters) - all with "no time limit to use purchased characters." Pigona's plans are recurring: Community at €15/month includes 15,000 credits every month, resetting whether or not the previous month's credits were used.

2. What the free demo actually gives you

TranslateBot's Demo tier is $0 for 15,000 characters, available one time only - their own FAQ states that once a server's character balance reaches zero, "the bot will stop working and will require a top up." Pigona's Starter tier gives 150 credits every day, indefinitely, with no card required - an ongoing free allowance rather than a one-time sample.
