Lokalise vs. Weglot

We used the service for almost 2 years, initially the decision was very tight when comparing to similar providers. There are many services that can do similar functions to what Lokalise to, given the many providers existing, if I were to choose again I'd be looking for lower price and better cancellation policies, versus aggressive sales tactics that result in loss of trust for a couple bucks.

Weglot is great for a small static website that doesn't have frequent content updates. It is also good for businesses that want to look at only a single language translation. It tends to fall apart when you either have a larger, growing website or multiple languages that you want to translate for. We had the system cut out several times when we first launched due to it repeatedly hitting our translation cap, with little or no warning from the vendor. Once it happened during a critical communication time.

Incentivized

• Refund policy is unfortunately non existent, charging 11 months extra than use
• Integration got broken and cascaded the failure to the deployment pipeline
• Interface can be confusing and slow at times

• Price model is very poor for larger websites who produce content regularly
• Price model is also poor for multiple language options (ie, each language translation is a separate cost)
• Customer service isn't very helpful (non-US based company)

Lokalise is definitely one of the best tools on the market

Weglot was really the only option we saw that met the needs of our schools. If we could find another tool that did the same thing for a cheaper price or was more reliable in it's customer service, we would have went with that system. As it is, they seem to the the best game in town, despite the higher price tag.

Incentivized

• Improves the ability for us to deliver accessible content to various non-speaking constituents
• High cost for a benefit that used to be free (Google Translate) adds an extra expense to our business
• Poor customer service means families are sometimes cut off from new translated content, leaving them with a poor experience
