ROI Reports & Translation Editing Reports
Teams investing in AI translation want two answers they couldn't get cleanly before: What are we actually saving versus traditional vendors? and How good is the AI output — how often does a human still have to edit it, and where? Without that, it's hard to prove value or to know where to tune.
What data can you get from ROI & Translation Editing Reports?
ROI Report compares your Smartcat costs against projected vendor costs over any period — a specific month, a quarter, or your entire subscription cycle — and can drill down to per-project ROI. It builds dollar figures from real consumption data (words translated, images and videos processed, Marketplace reviewer spend) and an adjustable cost model you can tune to reflect your own vendor rates.
Translation Review Report (and its Project and Document Edit views) shows how often AI translations are approved as-is versus edited by a human — the edit rate — broken down by translation workflow, language pair, AI translation profile/template, reviewer, and time period. The Document Edit Report drills all the way into a side-by-side, segment-level diff so you can see exactly what changed, who changed it, and why.

Key benefits
Quantified ROI — Smartcat vs. vendor costs across any period, with adjustable industry assumptions and per-project detail.
Real quality visibility — edit rate shows how much human work AI output still needs, and the value review agents add before content reaches a human.
Slice it your way — filter by language pair, workflow, AI profile/template, reviewer, and date range.
Segment-level audit — the Document Edit Report shows the exact before/after diff with the rationale for each edit.
Shareable — export any report to PDF for stakeholders outside Smartcat.
Proving the cost savings of Smartcat to finance or leadership.
Identifying which language pairs or configurations need tuning (high edit rate).
Auditing what a review agent actually changed before deciding to keep, tune, or disable it.
