Pricing & Delivery
Before Words, Let's Talk Numbers
We're all about moving words from language to language. But we also mind our numbers. Apex provides competitive prices based on—what else?—words. We assign a project manager to estimate your translation cost based on number of words in the source document, translation difficulty, and document formatting requirements.
Using electronic word-counting software to analyze your source document provides a quantifiable and verifiable basis for the fee. No wishy-washy guesses. No surprise invoices. Of course, not every company takes this upfront approach. Apex even wrote a paper on its word-count methodology for curious minds like yours.
We also assign the proper software and technology to leverage cost efficiencies for you. For example, our clients frequently update the same translated documents. If you expect changes in the future, let us know upfront, and we'll use special software to create a translation memory file of your documents. These files help ensure the highest possible degree of consistency between editions of the same document at the lowest possible cost. Smart—as you expect from Apex.
Competitively Priced For Exceptional Value
Apex doesn't rely on hunches to figure how we measure up. Once a year, we survey our top competitors to understand how well the cost of our services stacks up.
Our last survey revealed that in terms of our prices, Apex is placed in the 36th percentile of the 22 competitors that were surveyed, and that 95 percent of our clients believe the Apex' translation quality is above average. The same survey also indicates that 94.5 percent of our clients believe our service performance, such as on-time delivery and client-supplier interaction, is above average.
When we overlay our pricing surveys with our translation quality results, we can prove the exceptional value Apex offers: high quality, affordable price. Every time. See for yourself. Check out the results of our most recent pricing survey that reflects how Apex stacks up against our competitors from a pricing perspective.
91.5 percent On-Time Translation Delivery
Can we say that again? 91.5 percent on-time translation delivery. Again, nothing wishy-washy—we'll put your expected delivery day in writing when we send you the project estimate.
Your translation arrives via e-mail, ftp site, or through our login database, according to schedule. Need it faster than that? We'll be happy to discuss shorter turnaround times (rush fees may apply). Just ask.
