SYSTRAN Translate API
Neural MT API from French veteran SYSTRAN (ChapsVision group), hosted in Europe, with specialised industry models and user dictionaries.
Organisations wanting a European-hosted MT engine from a French vendor, with translated data neither stored nor used, get a flat €14.99 per 1M characters (about $16.79) with no volume restrictions. That is cheaper than DeepL's €22/M usage rate but dearer than Azure or Amazon. Private-cloud and on-premise deployments are available through sales. The gap is paperwork: SYSTRAN says it complies with GDPR but publishes no DPA on its pricing pages.
