Clear, Honest Human Translation Costs

Questioning costs and budgets only results in bottlenecks and impacts strategic decision-making. How can you justify an investment without pricing clarity?  Localize prioritizes human translation cost transparency by providing previews for all costs before placing an order so you can manage and communicate budgets, keeping projects on track.

" Our application has a lot of dynamic content, constant changes and iterations, and we couldn’t keep up with all the updates. Every time there was an update we would have to contract out the translations to human translators to keep our Spanish content consistent. We just couldn’t keep up. "

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about our localization tool.

What are the key differences between Localize and Phrase? 

Localize offers a powerful yet incredibly user-friendly translation management platform that scales to fit the needs of any business, from startups to global enterprises. While Phrase can be complex and demanding, Localize streamlines the entire localization process with intuitive automation and seamless integrations. You can translate your website and applications faster, with less effort, and at a more manageable cost with Localize. 

How do Localize and Phrase differ in their approach to translation management?

Localize and Phrase differ fundamentally in their approach to translation management. Localize uses a JavaScript-based approach that seamlessly integrates with your website or web application, automatically detecting and managing content updates without the need for file transfers. Phrase, on the other hand, relies on a more traditional file-based workflow, requiring manual file uploads and downloads. This key difference makes Localize a more streamlined and efficient choice for those who prefer a hands-off, automated approach to translation.

Which platform offers better integration with my existing tools and workflows?

Localize offers a broader and more seamless integration experience compared to Phrase. Localize has a robust API and native integrations with many popular platforms, including content management systems like WordPress. This allows for effortless connectivity with your existing technology stack, streamlining your translation workflow and reducing manual effort. While Phrase provides some integrations, Localize's wider range and focus on seamless connectivity give it a clear advantage in terms of flexibility and ease of use.

 Is Localize or Phrase more cost-effective for my business?

Localize simplifies translation management with an intuitive platform and powerful automation, making it easy for any business to translate content quickly and efficiently. But what truly sets Localize apart is our commitment to transparent pricing. Unlike Phrase, which can be complex and unpredictable, Localize provides clear upfront pricing and budget management tools, so you can make informed decisions and keep your localization projects on track.

What kind of support can I expect from Localize and Phrase?

Localize offers a dedicated team, extensive documentation, and responsive communication to help you succeed with the platform. While Phrase provides support resources, Localize goes above and beyond with proactive guidance and a customer-centric approach, ensuring a smoother and more satisfying experience for customers.

Does Localize offer a free trial?

Localize offers a 15-day free trial, so you can easily test out our platform and see how simple it is to translate your website and applications.
