The short version

  • Only Weglot has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Weglot free plan is capped at 2,000 words and a single language; XTM Cloud no pricing is published for any product in the range, and unlike most quoted vendors XTM does not even disclose the unit of measure, so a buyer cannot tell whether to forecast seats, words or projects before the first sales call.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Weglot

  • Free plan is capped at 2,000 words and a single language
  • Starter plan at $17 per month is limited to 1 language; reaching 3 languages requires the $32 per month Business plan
  • Word caps scale by tier from 10,000 on Starter up to 5,000,000 on the $769 per month Extended plan, with Enterprise priced on request beyond that

XTM Cloud

  • No pricing is published for any product in the range, and unlike most quoted vendors XTM does not even disclose the unit of measure, so a buyer cannot tell whether to forecast seats, words or projects before the first sales call.
  • XTM and Transifex are now the same company, so a shortlist containing both is not the competitive comparison it appears to be and the pricing pressure a buyer expects from playing them against each other does not exist.
  • The acquisition run of Rigi, Locale, Transifex and TXTOmedia between 2023 and 2025 has created overlapping capability, and which product line receives sustained investment is a question the vendor has not answered publicly.
  • Private-equity ownership since 2021 tends to show up at renewal rather than at signature, so the first-year price is a poor guide to the three-year cost and multi-year terms are worth negotiating up front.
  • Leadership has turned over repeatedly, with the chief executive appointed in January 2023 resigning in October 2025 and three directors leaving in March 2023, which is a poor signal for roadmap continuity on a multi-year platform commitment.
