Tranzly vs WPML

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

For site owners weighing up two ways to translate WordPress: WPML is an established paid plugin whose yearly plans come with a fixed quantity of AI-translated words, whereas Tranzly costs nothing on WordPress.org, supports unlimited languages and does not count words, since the work runs through your own DeepL or AI account.

Tranzly stands out

  1. The free edition covers unlimited languages, along with translated addresses, hreflang and sitemaps.
  2. Word allowances do not exist here; your payments go straight to the translation service you pick.
  3. Each translated page triggers two extra database queries at most, and no cookie is set, which leaves caching intact.
  4. Tranzly Pro can bring across WPML's languages, translations and translated texts, and the import can be reversed.

WPML is strong

  1. Every paid tier bundles a yearly supply of AI-translated words, which removes the need for a separate translation account.
  2. Alongside DeepL, Google Translate and Microsoft Translator, it provides a translation engine of its own.

Both

  1. Each saves translations as genuine WordPress content, giving every one its own address.
  2. Each can plug into machine translation from DeepL, Google and Microsoft.

Where they differ

  1. WPML offers no free version, while Tranzly's free edition sits on WordPress.org.
  2. WPML's paid plans bundle either 22,500 or 45,000 AI-translated words (the Blog plan has none), whereas Tranzly sets no word limit.
  3. With 73 tools, Tranzly allows AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT to translate a site.
