How are the rates determined?

Currently, while the system is in its "beta" stage, pricing is deliberately simplistic as a placeholder for future development. At this time, regardless of job details, the system charges the client based on a fixed per-source-word rate for the provider and a per-source-word transaction fee to ProZ.com. The fixed rate is offered to eligible service providers, who can choose to accept or decline the job.

If there proves to be a demand for the turn-key translation service, a more detailed pricing model will be developed based on real world data and usage patterns.
