Update: Pricing Update and Dashboard Enhancements

We are pleased to announce the release of RakuChat LINE Translator v1.0.1.
This update refines our pricing structure and improves both the management dashboard and the website, making the service more accessible for those who use it every day and those who prefer to use it only when needed.
The update was fully deployed on November 27, 2025.

Overview of v1.0.1

  • Reduced the Pro plan from $4.99 → $2.9.
  • Revised the Credit plan pricing tiers and rates, resulting in an effective 70–85% cost reduction in most use cases.
  • Improved the dashboard and website layout to clearly distinguish the three usage styles: Free / Pro / Credit.fileciteturn0file0turn0file1turn0file2

1. Pro Plan: For Daily Users

1-1. Price Revision

The Pro plan has been adjusted to a more approachable monthly price of $2.9, while maintaining the same usage limits:

  • 150 text translations per day

  • 30 minutes of voice translation per dayfileciteturn0file2

  • New subscribers will be charged the updated $2.9 rate.

  • Existing users on the former price will continue under the old rate during the soft launch period. Additional guidance will be shared later.fileciteturn0file2

1-2. Simplified Usage Display

The Usage tab now displays remaining Pro usage as a percentage, rather than fractional points.
This provides a clearer, less stressful way to see how much of the monthly quota remains.fileciteturn0file0turn0file1

2. Credit Plan: Use Only When You Need It

2-1. Updated Pricing Tiers

The Credit plan has been redesigned to support smaller purchases while rewarding larger charges with better rates.fileciteturn0file2

Available tiers: $2, $5, $7, $10, $15, $30, $50

Each tier grants enough credits for thousands of text translations or long‑form voice translation, depending on usage.

2-2. Improved Effective Cost

The effective cost per text or voice translation has been significantly reduced.fileciteturn0file2

  • Up to 70–85% cheaper compared to previous pricing.
  • Designed to fit both occasional and heavy users.

The credit charging UI has also been simplified.
We streamlined the purchasing flow to credit card payments (USD) and resolved an issue where multiple buttons could appear selected at once.fileciteturn0file0turn0file1

3. Dashboard & Website Improvements

3-1. Dashboard Enhancements

The dashboard is something users see daily, so clarity and stability matter. Improvements include:fileciteturn0file0turn0file1

  • Unified typography and improved readability by setting black text as the default.
  • Adjusted backgrounds and input fields for visual consistency.
  • Improved loading behavior and tab transitions to reduce visual jitter.
  • Added units such as “times” and “minutes” to Free plan usage for better clarity.
  • Revised comparison text to better differentiate Free, Pro, and Credit.

The goal is to make the dashboard feel less like a “quota management panel” and more like a “personal usage rhythm tracker.”

3-2. Website Updates

The website has been refined to communicate pricing and legal information more clearly.fileciteturn0file0turn0file1turn0file2

  • Simplified the pricing page to focus on Free / Pro / Credit and their roles.
  • Added language toggle buttons (EN/JA) to Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
  • Standardized the support email to contact@raku.chat.
  • Updated the footer address to display the correct Japanese corporation address, switching language automatically based on selection.

These changes keep the tone warm and approachable while strengthening the sense of trustworthiness expected from a global service.

4. Choosing the Right Plan

We also revisited the role of each plan.fileciteturn0file2

Free Plan

  • Ideal for first‑time users.
  • Up to 5 text translations/day and 2 minutes of voice/day.
  • A simple way to learn what the service feels like.

Pro Plan

  • Best for users who translate messages every day.
  • Designed for people who incorporate multilingual chat into daily life.
  • Includes a percentage‑based usage indicator for a stress‑free experience.

Credit Plan

  • Great for travel, business trips, or periods of high usage.
  • Pay‑as‑you‑go with no monthly contract.
  • Starts from just $2 and lasts until fully consumed.

If you’re unsure:

  1. Start with Free.

  3. Choose Pro for frequent, steady use; Credit for short‑term intensive use.
