Pleco 2.0 Pricing

New Purchase Pricing

Pleco 2.0 is available in three different bundle packages. The software in all three of these is identical; the only difference between them is in which dictionaries they include.

Basic (US $69.95) - includes the Oxford Concise English & Chinese Dictionary only. This is best for people new to learning Chinese, or whose primary exposure to Chinese is in a classroom setting (textbooks and worksheets and the like) as opposed to real-world newspapers / conversations / TV shows.

Professional (US $99.95) - includes the ABC Chinese-English and NWP English-Chinese Dictionaries. The much larger Chinese-English dictionary in this bundle (approximately 8x as many entries as in the Basic) makes it more useful for people actually living / working / studying in China, as you're less likely to encounter vocabulary that isn't covered.

Linguist (US $149.95) - includes the ABC Chinese-English, 21st Century English-Chinese, and Guifan Chinese-Chinese dictionaries. This bundle is intended for advanced users only - the 21st Century English-Chinese dictionary does not include Pinyin, and the Guifan dictionary does include Pinyin for headwords but provides only Chinese characters in definitions and example sentences. (the ABC dictionary includes full Pinyin and English support)

However, the 21st Century dictionary also has more than 10x as many entries as any of our other English-Chinese titles, and the Chinese definitions in the Guifan dictionary offer a level of accuracy / detail that's difficult to achieve when translated into English, so if you're proficient at reading Chinese you'll likely find the Linguist bundle the best choice. (you can always look up Pinyin for unknown words by cross-referencing them in the ABC dictionary, or by ordering a Pinyin-equipped English-Chinese dictionary as an add-on).
