Tranzly vs WPML

The comparison Tranzly published with its listing, against its main competitor, WPML.

WPML has been around for years. It is a paid WordPress translation plugin, and its yearly plans come with a fixed amount of AI-translated words. Tranzly takes another route. Its free edition sits on WordPress.org, covers unlimited languages and keeps no word count. You connect your own DeepL or AI account and translate there.

Tranzly stands out

Screenshot of the Tranzly homepage

  1. The free edition covers unlimited languages. It also handles translated addresses, hreflang and sitemaps.

  2. Tranzly sets no word limits. You pay your translation service directly. You buy no word allowances.

  3. Each translated page adds two database queries at most. Tranzly sets no cookie, so your caches keep working.

  4. Tranzly Pro brings in languages, translations and translated texts from WPML. You can undo the import.

WPML is strong

  1. Each paid plan comes with a yearly allowance of AI-translated words. You need no separate translation account.

  2. WPML runs its own translation engine. It also works with DeepL, Google Translate and Microsoft Translator.

Both

  1. Each plugin saves every translation as genuine WordPress content. Each translation gets its own address.

  2. Each plugin links to machine translation from DeepL, Google and Microsoft.

Where they differ

  1. WPML offers no free version. Tranzly offers a free edition on WordPress.org.

  2. WPML's paid plans bundle 22,500 or 45,000 AI-translated words. The Blog plan bundles none. Tranzly sets no word limit.

  3. AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can translate a site with Tranzly. They use 73 tools to do it.
