Translatigo vs. Human Interpreters: Cost and Speed Comparison

Translatigo costs about $0.07 per minute, with a free 20-minute trial, against roughly $1 to $3 per minute for a typical over-the-phone human interpreter — somewhere in the range of 15 to 40 times cheaper per minute. That gap comes down to what's being paid for: OPI vendors are booking a live person's time, often with call minimums and rush fees for less common languages, while Translatigo runs as compute rather than staffing, so a 30-minute call lands around $2.10 instead of $30 to $90.

Speed follows the same logic. Translatigo works at the browser level as a Chrome extension, interpreting in real time on whatever web-based dialer you're already using — Avaya, Five9, Genesys, RingCentral, and similar platforms — with nothing extra to open and no interpreter to wait for. Human OPI still has to route the call to someone available in the right language, which is usually fast for common languages but can add real delay for less common ones or during peak volume. Worth noting: certified human interpreters are still required for court, medical consent, and other legally regulated settings — Translatigo is built for the much larger set of everyday business calls instead.
