Pricing
One All-In Quote Per Project
One all-in quote per project. The interpreter keeps 100% of their pay. No hidden costs.
What MetaPret does
Your quote covers more than a match. We verify skill, match your field, and prepare the interpreter for your exact engagement.
Verify
Every interpreter passes a skill test built for the request, cross-scored by Senior interpreters in the field. Only those who pass are matched.
Match
We connect you with the verified interpreter for your exact engagement: field, language pair, and format.
Prepare
Before the engagement, MetaPret builds the interpreter's prep pack: a domain glossary, a background briefing, and reference materials for your specific meeting. Your interpreter walks in ready.
What Makes This Different?
| Feature | MetaPret | Typical Agency |
|---|---|---|
| Interpreter keeps 100% of pay | — | |

Three verified tiers, one bar
Every interpreter clears the same cross-scored test before matching. The tier reflects track record, not a lower standard, so you always know what you're paying for.
Top of the ladder, on a proven track record. Seniors cross-score every candidate in their field.
Verified and building a track record on live engagements.
Newly verified: cleared the same test bar, just starting out.
Pricing is scoped to each request. You'll see the range for each tier while you build yours.
Cancellation policy
Standard windows for cancellation after match confirmation:
| Cancellation timing | Compensation owed |
|---|---|
| 7+ days before engagement | No charge |
| 4–7 days before | 30% of the quote |
| 2–3 days before | 40% of the quote |
| Day before | 50% of the quote |

The same schedule applies to your all-in quote. Custom enterprise contracts may override these windows by agreement. Discuss at quote time.
If something falls short
If a match doesn't meet professional expectations, we want to hear about it:

- What we do: look into the specific concerns and work with you to resolve them.
Operational fees
The following services have transparent flat-rate add-ons disclosed at quote time:
- Pre-engagement briefing call with the matched interpreter, included free up to 30 minutes. Additional briefing time billed hourly per interpreter at standard pre-meeting rate. Briefing materials shared via the platform are not billable.
- Recording (internal use only): add 50% to the quote. Pre-consent from the interpreter required.
- Recording (external broadcast or distribution): add 100% to the quote. Pre-consent required.
- Live broadcast or streaming: add 100% to the quote. Pre-consent required.
- Engagement outside the hub city's standard service area: travel cost + per diem itemized at quote time. Hub cities listed at /cities.
- Same-day or 48-hour urgent matching: standard rate applies. A 10–20% urgency premium may apply for engagements requiring evaluator-pool reshuffling at short notice, disclosed at quote time.
Conference + multi-language engagement add-ons
- Simultaneous interpretation requires minimum 2 interpreters per language pair per booth, with handoff every 20–30 minutes.
- Equipment (booth, headsets, mics) is NOT bundled in interpreter rate. MetaPret can coordinate equipment rental through partner suppliers at separate quote, or you may use your own.
- Conference team coordination fee applies for engagements with 3+ language pairs or 6+ interpreter team configurations, disclosed at quote time.
- Pre-conference team briefing included free for multi-day events with the full booked team.
What stays consistent
- No hidden fees added after quote confirmation.
- Your quote is ONE all-in number, never split into line items, and the interpreter keeps 100% of their pay. Operational add-ons (recording, travel, etc.) and applicable VAT, if any, are stated plainly on top.
- VAT applied per Korean tax law for Korea-based engagements. International engagements may apply zero-rate (영세율) per local tax treaty, confirmed at quote.
- All quotes valid for 14 days unless engagement window forces earlier confirmation.
Recurring partner pricing
Clients with sustained engagement volume may transition to a Recurring Partner tier with custom pricing terms. Triggers and conditions discussed when usage patterns warrant, typically after 3+ successful engagements with sustained satisfaction.
