Yes, you pay for a CotranslatorAI software license and for your own OpenAI data usage separately. You purchase the CotranslatorAI license directly from us, and you pay OpenAI for data usage through your private API key. This setup gives you added privacy and security under OpenAI’s enterprise policy, allows you to pay only for the data you use, and ensures you have direct access to the latest AI models without extra markups or usage throttling. For most users, the CotranslatorAI license costs $87 per year, and typical OpenAI data fees are around $5 to $10 per month with a full translation schedule, making this an affordable, secure, and flexible option for your needs.​
