Discord Translation Bot Pricing: Free Tiers and Plans Compared (2026)
How much does a Discord translation bot cost? An honest comparison of the free tiers, paid plans, and pricing models of Kiki and the major competitors.
Add Kiki to DiscordDiscord translation bots cost anywhere from nothing to around twenty-five dollars a month, and the price tags do not compare directly. One bot sells a one-time pack of characters, two bill a recurring monthly subscription, one keeps its premium price private, and Kiki pools a token subscription across the whole server. The cheapest bot on paper is rarely the cheapest bot for your server.
This page puts every plan side by side: the free tiers, the paid plans, and the pricing model behind each one. It then works through which model costs least for which kind of server, because a quiet ten-member server and a busy international one have opposite best answers.

Why are Discord translation bots priced so differently?
Four pricing models show up across these five bots, and each one suits a different kind of server. The model a bot uses tells you more about your real cost than its headline price does.
One-time character packs. Discord Translator sells a fixed quota of characters for a single payment: ten dollars buys 200,000 characters that never expire. There is no subscription, but every translated letter draws the quota down, so a busy server buys pack after pack while a quiet one may never finish the first.
Monthly subscriptions. iTranslator and RitaBot charge a recurring monthly fee. The cost is predictable and, on the right plan, translation is unlimited. The fee is the same whether the server is busy or idle, and it usually lands entirely on whoever set the bot up.
Free with voting. iTranslator also runs a genuine free tier: a 10,000-character quota that resets whenever a member votes for the bot on a listing site. A small server willing to vote can stay on it a long time without paying anything.
Pooled token subscription. Kiki prices translation at one dollar per token per month, and members contribute tokens to a shared server pool. Nine members paying a dollar each unlock the same tier as one member paying nine, so the cost spreads across the community instead of resting on the owner. Paid translation itself is never metered.
Which pricing fits your server?
A small or quiet server
If translation is occasional, the cheapest path is a free tier or a one-time payment. Kiki is free up to 300 words per member each day, pooled across everyone, so a small server can run on it indefinitely at no cost. iTranslator’s free tier resets by voting. And if you would rather pay once and never think about it again, Discord Translator’s $10 character pack can outlast a quiet server for months.
A busy international server
High translation volume is where metered models get expensive. A character pack drains fast and needs rebuying, and a busy server can finish a $10 Discord Translator pack in days. A flat subscription fixes that: Kiki and iTranslator both translate without a character cap on their paid plans. Kiki adds one thing here, the bill is pooled across members, so a nine-token server costs nine people a dollar each rather than one owner nine dollars.
A server that does not want to pay at all
Three of these bots can run free indefinitely. Kiki gives every member 300 translation words a day to pool, iTranslator gives a character quota that resets by voting, and Translator Bot includes a free base tier. RitaBot is the exception: it has no free tier and no trial, so translating anything at all means paying from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a free Discord translation bot?
Yes, several. Kiki has a free tier that gives every member 300 translation words per day to pool for the server. iTranslator has a free 10,000-character tier that resets when a member votes for it, and Translator Bot includes a free base tier. Discord Translator gives a one-time 5,000-character trial. RitaBot is the only bot here with no free option.
What is the cheapest Discord translation bot?
It depends on how much you translate. For a quiet server, the cheapest option is a free tier, or Discord Translator’s one-time $10 character pack. For a busy server that would burn through a character pack, a flat subscription is cheaper over time, and Kiki’s pooled token plan splits even that cost across members.
How much does Kiki cost?
Kiki is free up to 300 translation words per member per day, pooled across the server. Paid plans are priced at $1 per token per month: features unlock at 3 pooled tokens (from $3/mo), 6 tokens (from $6/mo), and 9 tokens (from $9/mo). Because members pool tokens, the cost is shared rather than carried by one person.
Do Discord translation bots charge per message?
Some do, in effect. Discord Translator and iTranslator’s free tier meter usage by characters, so longer messages cost more of the quota. Paid subscriptions on Kiki, iTranslator, and RitaBot do not meter translation by message or character once you are on a paid plan.
Which Discord translation bot has no subscription?
Discord Translator is the one built around a single payment: $10 buys a character pack that never expires, with no recurring fee. Kiki, iTranslator, and RitaBot use monthly subscriptions for their paid plans, though Kiki and iTranslator also have free tiers that need no payment at all.
