LILT Reviews 15

I’ve been freelancing with LILT since 2025 and have really enjoyed the experience. The project managers are friendly and helpful, the work is engaging, and the payment is reliable. Highly recommend!

Working with LILT is truly enjoyable. The work-life balance is the most important part. The management team is very responsive and skilled. Overall work environment is impressive.

Working with Lilt has been a great experience. While the deadlines are strict and require disciplined time management, the projects are well-organized and the compensation is very fair. I truly value this professional environment and look forward to more opportunities to collaborate in the future.

I have been working for this company for a relatively short time (as a freelancer), but have only very good experiences. All the staff members are polite, helpful and professional with excellent responsivity. Also their dashboard is very easy to use and understand. I hope that we will have a long co-operation.

I have been cooperating with Lilt for several years, and I can confidently say it is truly one of the best companies I have ever worked with in every aspect. Their support is unmatched and always reliable, their team is professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in success, and their transparency and fairness set them apart in the industry.

Lilt works with world-leading clients at the highest level, providing exceptional linguistic services supported by state-of-the-art AI systems, guaranteeing accuracy, consistency, and quality. Every interaction reflects their commitment to excellence, and they always ensure fair and timely payments, showing true respect for their collaborators.

Working with Lilt has not only been professionally rewarding but also inspiring. Their dedication to innovation, quality, and people makes them a standout company in the translation and localization world. I cannot recommend them highly enough: they truly raise the standard of what a global language technology company should be.

Either an employee or a client, Lilt is the company that could present the high grade translation service.

good company, good payment and its fast. also easy to communicate regarding the projects

LILT is truly one of the best companies with a great payment system. The project team is very cohesive and consistently delivers a number of tasks each week. The support team is also responsive, quickly resolving my payment issues with efficiency and practical solutions. They are very open about any problems and always provide clear explanations.

Great experience with LILT. The platform is professional and well-organized, tasks are clear, and communication is smooth. I appreciate the quality-focused workflow and the supportive environment for linguists. I would definitely recommend LILT to other professionals.

Lilt MT accuracy/performance is not bad itself,
but there are too many incomplete feature and UI performance as a SaaS,

- Too many input/display bug
for double byte languages (in my case, Japanese)
- Too slow loading
I once received around 10K words source, Lilt loading was chaotic. This app can only handle up to 3K source English equivalent.
- Useless QA.
QA is really useless, should open in different tab, not a pop up window, sometimes it contains more than 1K entries of most of which are meaningless, only latin language focused false positive errors.

Simply, this app is not at commercial level. They just release it to the market to force translators bear the bug hunt cost. This is a worst minimum viable product. I suggest the developer company should look into it more in depth, otherwise I am sure this app will be expelled from the market, there are many other reasonable and well-performing SaaS apps around. No reason to stick onto this Lilt, I won't recommend the client either.

I’ve been working with them for roughly five years. They used to be one of the best agencies — prompt with payments and professional in every way. Unfortunately, they’ve now become one of the worst. Their payment policy is unclear and unfair, and I now receive roughly one-third of what I earn for the same work at other agencies. The PMs and overall communication have also deteriorated badly. In the past, I would get responses within hours or at least within 24 hours; now, I wonder if they even have project managers who read emails.

Many projects come with extremely tight deadlines, forcing you to work anywhere, anytime — and they can suddenly cancel the job midway without paying you. It’s sad to see how they’ve transformed from one of the most freelancer-friendly agencies into one of the most exploitative-capitalist and non-ethical ones.

They never pay translators, still waiting for money. Managers dont help at all, all they tell i1s excuses.

Extremely poor project management and total lack of communication. I checked their reputation on translator websites and it's not looking good.

Dont work for Lilt if you want to get paid. I worked for them as a freelance linguist for almost two years. Apart from lots of unaddressed technical issues with their platform, they recently lured me into manual translations for "AI training" with a triple per word rate. I had to realize that this was for the FIRST job only. The following manual translations will be paid with the much lower review rate. Then their payment provider Payoneer closed my account and now for almost two weeks no response from Lilt. They owe me around 2000 dollars with instalments overdue.

Beware of Lilt, Inc.! I worked diligently for them, putting in hours of effort, only to be left without payment. Not only did they fail to compensate me for the services I provided, but they also displayed a complete disregard for my time and effort. They consistently evaded my inquiries and conveniently 'forgot' about their financial commitments. This company's lack of integrity is appalling, and I urge anyone considering working with them to think twice.
