The New Era of Translation

Pricing That Reflects Reality

Per-word pricing was designed for human translators working line by line. With AI-assisted workflows, that model breaks down — you're paying for word count, not expertise.

Hourglass charges by effective specialist hours: the actual time our experts spend configuring, reviewing, and refining your translation. The result is a transparent, fair price that reflects the real effort behind your project — not an arbitrary word count.

Traditional Model

Per-word rate × word count = opaque pricing

Outdated
Hourglass Model

Effective specialist hours = transparent expertise

What Our Partners Say

“Partnering with Hourglass completely redefined our expectations for large-scale localization. A massive website project spanning over four hundred pages was translated with flawless quality. Remarkably, the process saved us half of our projected budget and a staggering seventy percent of the time. Efficiency and precision at its absolute finest!”
Elīna Jākobsone
Co-founder — Marketing agency Ozols
"The collaboration with Hourglass ensured exceptional efficiency in a situation where time and budget were critical factors. On behalf of AA clinic, I expressed satisfaction with the translation of a large volume of professional literature for internal use. This approach proved to be a perfect solution – thanks to a modern workflow, the project was implemented 10 times faster and 80% cheaper than conventional translation. Since the materials were required for the company's internal needs rather than publication, this format fully met expectations and optimized resources."
