Our take
Pick DeepL if you're a writer and ops people who need a high-quality EN↔other-language pane without installing a CAT tool. Pick Readlang if you're readers who want lookups without leaving the page. Skip DeepL if you're people who need inline English grammar (Grammarly) or a named-mode paraphraser (QuillBot). Skip Readlang if you're learners who need spoken coaching (Speechling) or imported podcasts at scale (LingQ).
