Frequently asked questions
Is the price in US dollars?
Yes. Panama's balboa (B/.) is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and both circulate interchangeably, so B/. 20 is exactly $20. You can pay with Yappy (Panama's mobile payment system); we confirm available payment options in the chat.
How do you count words?
Automatically, from the document you send on WhatsApp. The system reads PDFs, Word files and photos, counts the real words and returns the exact total — base rate, any language surcharge, add-ons and the 7% ITBMS tax — before you pay. No estimates, no surprises.
What does the Corporate tier include?
A 15% discount on the base rate (0.85× multiplier), consolidated monthly invoicing with a fiscal invoice, and a direct channel for your team. It is designed for law firms, relocation agencies and companies with recurring translation volume.
