ChatGPT Perplexity Grok Google AI

The main ConveyThis competitors are Weglot, WPML, TranslatePress, Polylang and GTranslate for website translation, and Smartling, Lokalise and Transifex for larger localization programs. The right pick depends mostly on whether your site runs only on WordPress, how many words and languages you need, and whether you want translations handled inside your CMS or outside it. The comparison below uses prices we checked on each vendor’s own pricing page on 28 September 2026, and it says where each competitor is the better choice.

Key takeaways

• Weglot is the closest like-for-like competitor (hosted, works on any platform). At the entry level ConveyThis includes more words for less: 30,000 words for $12/month vs. Weglot’s 10,000 words for $17/month.
• WPML, TranslatePress and Polylang are WordPress plugins billed yearly. For a single WordPress site with modest volume they can cost less per year than a monthly hosted service, but they only work on WordPress.
• GTranslate offers unlimited words on paid plans, which suits very large sites. Its free version translates in the browser and, by GTranslate’s own description, those translated pages are not indexed.
• Each competitor is the better choice in some situations, and we say which. If none of them matches yours, the full list is on our alternatives page.

How we compared

• Sources: each vendor’s public pricing page, fetched on 28 September 2026. Prices change, so check the vendor’s page before you buy. Our method is described on the comparison methodology page.
• Currency: Weglot and GTranslate figures are in US dollars as shown on their pages. WPML, TranslatePress and Polylang publish prices in euros, so we show euros.
• ConveyThis prices come from our own pricing page. Yearly plans cost 10 times the monthly price.

ConveyThis vs. Weglot

Weglot is a hosted website translation service, like ConveyThis. Both detect your site’s content, translate it automatically, let you edit translations and serve each language on its own URL.

Weglot figures from weglot.com/pricing, checked 28 September 2026. Weglot also lists an Extended plan ($769/month, 5,000,000 words, 20 languages) and Enterprise on request.

Weglot is the better choice if you want to try a paid tier before paying. Its paid plans are free for the first 14 days. ConveyThis has no timed trial of paid plans, only a permanent Free plan (5,000 words, 1 language).

ConveyThis gives you more words at each price level and, at the higher tiers, more languages. The free plan is larger, and you can import existing translations from CSV or TMX at no cost, which matters if you are leaving Weglot.

ConveyThis vs. WPML

WPML is a WordPress plugin, sold per year.

Source: WPML purchase page, checked 28 September 2026. WPML lists a 30-day money-back guarantee.

WPML makes more sense if you run only WordPress, have editors who will manage translations inside it, and mostly translate by hand or with a little automatic translation. For that kind of site, €39 to €99 a year is hard to beat. WPML also offers a money-back guarantee; ConveyThis does not (refund requests can be made within 7 days of purchase under our terms).

ConveyThis makes more sense if you want the whole site translated automatically as a first draft and then edited visually, if you need more automatic translation volume than the included WPML credits, or if you run more than WordPress (for example Shopify, Wix, Webflow or a custom site).

ConveyThis vs. TranslatePress

TranslatePress is a WordPress plugin with a free version and yearly premium plans.

Source: translatepress.com/pricing, checked 28 September 2026. TranslatePress lists a 15-day money-back guarantee. Its documentation says the free version supports Google Translate, and DeepL is available in paid versions (TranslatePress docs).

TranslatePress suits a WordPress-only site that wants translations managed inside WordPress, billed once a year, with a money-back window.

ConveyThis suits sites outside WordPress, several sites on one account (Pro and above include 3 or more sites), and teams that want translation handled outside the CMS so theme and plugin changes don’t affect it. See Weglot vs. TranslatePress vs. ConveyThis.

ConveyThis vs. Polylang

Polylang is a free WordPress plugin on WordPress.org, with paid add-ons.

• Polylang (free): manual multilingual setup; the free version does not include machine translation.
• Polylang Pro: from €99 per year (excluding VAT); includes DeepL machine translation using your own DeepL API key.
• Polylang for WooCommerce: from €99 per year. Business Pack: from €139 per year.

Polylang is the better fit if you want to write each language version yourself inside WordPress, have no budget for a subscription and don’t mind manual setup.

ConveyThis is the better fit if you want the whole site translated automatically, including theme and plugin text, without managing a separate post for every language. See Weglot vs. Polylang vs. ConveyThis.

ConveyThis vs. GTranslate

GTranslate offers a free language switcher and paid plans.

Source: gtranslate.io, checked 28 September 2026.

GTranslate’s own site explains that in the free version “translated pages do not have separate URLs, so they are not indexed”. Paid plans create language-specific URLs that can be indexed.

GTranslate is worth a look for very large sites where word count drives the cost. Its paid plans advertise unlimited words and pageviews at a flat monthly price.

ConveyThis is the better fit if you want to control translation quality with a glossary, translation memory, a visual editor and team roles for reviewers. Compare in Weglot vs. GTranslate vs. ConveyThis.

Enterprise localization platforms: Smartling, Lokalise, Transifex

These tools are translation management systems built for localization teams: software strings, documents, apps and professional translator workflows. They do a lot and are priced accordingly.

What ConveyThis includes

For a fair comparison, this is what ConveyThis includes:

• 210 supported languages, with automatic machine translation as a first draft.
• A visual editor for editing any translation on the live page, a glossary (on paid plans) and translation memory for consistency, and team roles for reviewers.
• Subfolders, subdomains or a ?lang parameter for language URLs (second-level domains on the Extreme plan), with automatic hreflang and translated meta tags and JSON-LD. More on multilingual SEO.
• A WordPress plugin, a Shopify app, and 35 integration guides including a one-line script for any site.
• Words are counted only when translated content is shown, and bot traffic does not count.
• Import of existing translations from CSV or TMX files.

Independent ratings, as of September 2026: Capterra 4.8/5 (36 reviews), G2 3.9/5 (16 reviews), WordPress.org plugin 4.4/5 (145 ratings, 1,000+ active installs).

Which one should you choose?

• Only WordPress, small budget, translating by hand: Polylang or WPML.
• Only WordPress, translations managed inside WordPress with some AI translation included: TranslatePress, or WPML on its CMS or Agency plan.
• Very large site where cost per word matters most: check GTranslate’s unlimited-word plans.
• Any platform, automatic translation plus editing, SEO-ready URLs and more words per dollar than Weglot: ConveyThis.
• Software, apps and a professional localization team: a TMS such as Smartling, Lokalise or Transifex.
