Tranzly vs WPML
The comparison Tranzly published with its listing, against its main competitor, WPML.
Tranzly is a free plugin on WordPress.org that supports unlimited languages and keeps no tally of words; translation runs through your own DeepL or AI account. WPML, by contrast, has been around for many years, is a paid WordPress translation plugin, and sells annual plans that bundle a fixed quantity of AI-translated words.
Tranzly stands out
- The free edition covers unlimited languages, along with translated addresses, hreflang and sitemaps.
- Since there are no word caps, you settle up with your translation service directly rather than purchasing word allowances.
- Each translated page costs at most two additional database queries, and without any cookie your caches carry on working.
- Tranzly Pro can bring across WPML's languages, translations and translated texts, and the import can be reversed.
WPML is strong
- Every paid plan comes with a yearly quota of AI-translated words, which removes the need for a separate translation account.
- A proprietary translation engine is on offer, next to DeepL, Google Translate and Microsoft Translator.
Both
- Each one saves every translation as genuine WordPress content that has an address of its own.
- Both plug into machine translation from DeepL, Google and Microsoft.
Where they differ
- No free version of WPML exists, whereas Tranzly's free edition lives on WordPress.org.
- The paid WPML plans bring either 22,500 or 45,000 AI-translated words, and the Blog plan brings none; Tranzly sets no word limit.
- Through 73 tools, Tranzly allows AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT to translate a whole site.
