A German interpreter you conference into a call you are already on. Your employee stays on the line and speaks English. We carry the language in both directions, in real time. No app, no download and no hardware for the person on the other end.

Traditional interpreter companies add a third person to the phone call. AI companies replace the employee entirely. We do neither. The employee stays on the call and we carry the language.
On a commercial call that difference is the whole thing. A third party on the line slows the conversation and means your counterpart is talking to someone outside your organisation.
You conference Interpreterly into the call the same way you would add any third number. It works on a mobile, a landline, a VoIP handset or a speakerphone. There is no phone system change and nothing to install — see how AI phone interpretation works in more detail.
Business calls turn on specifics. An order number, a bank reference, an email address, a delivery date. Those are what get misheard, not the conversation around them.

| Interpreterly | Per-minute interpreter line | Bilingual staff member | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Flat monthly | Per minute, with a minimum charge on every call | Salary, benefits and cover when they are away |
| Who is on the call | Your employee, plus the language layer | Your employee, the other party and a third person | One employee, if they are working that shift |
| Availability | Any call, any time, including across time zones | Queue wait, and European hours complicate scheduling | Their hours only |
| Short calls | No minimum charge | A 30-second question bills at the minimum | Free, if they are free |
| Record of the call | Transcript and recording | Varies by provider | None |
Per-minute interpretation looks cheap on a rate card and expensive on an invoice, because of the minimum charge. Most providers bill a minimum of two to five minutes on every call, however short it was. Compare against flat monthly pricing before you sign anything.
For a business making occasional German calls rather than constant ones, the per-minute model is particularly badly shaped. You pay a minimum on every short call and still have to schedule around interpreter availability — it's worth taking ten minutes to work out what per-minute interpretation is costing you.
The math nobody publishes
Same minimum charge, either way.
The per-minute model punishes exactly this pattern.
Especially across European time zones.
Production schedules, specifications, quality issues and delivery timing with German-speaking suppliers.
Discovery, negotiation and account management where the other party would rather speak German than English, even if they can do both.
You conference the interpreter into the call you are already on, the same way you would add any third number. It works on mobile, landline, VoIP and speakerphone. The other party needs no app, no download and no account.
An interpreter works with spoken language, live, as a conversation happens. A translator works with written text, such as documents, contracts and websites. Interpreterly is an interpreter service. It works on phone calls and does not handle written material.
No. Interpreterly is priced as a flat monthly fee with no per-minute billing and no minimum charge per call. For a business making occasional German calls that difference is larger than it looks.
No. Interpreterly is built for phone calls between a small number of people. Conference and event interpreting is a different service with different equipment, and we do not compete for it.
