Tranzly vs WPML

Tranzly's main competitor is WPML. This is how Tranzly compares the two.

In Tranzly's own words.

WPML has been around for years as a paid WordPress translation plugin, with yearly plans that bundle a fixed quantity of AI-translated words. Tranzly costs nothing on WordPress.org, supports as many languages as you like and does not meter words: translation runs through your own DeepL or AI account.

Where Tranzly stands out

  • The free edition on offer covers any number of languages, plus translated addresses, hreflang and sitemaps.

  • Nothing caps your words; you settle up with your translation provider directly rather than purchasing word bundles.

  • Each translated page adds two database queries at most, and there is no cookie, which leaves caching intact.

  • Tranzly Pro can bring across languages, translations and translated texts from WPML, and the import can be reversed.

Where WPML is strong

  • Each paid plan comes with a yearly quota of AI-translated words, which removes the need for a separate translation account.

  • It ships its own translation engine and also works with DeepL, Google Translate and Microsoft Translator.

In common

  • In each plugin, every translation is kept as genuine WordPress content that has an address of its own.

  • Either one can hook up to machine translation from DeepL, Google and Microsoft.

Differences

  • WPML offers no free version, whereas Tranzly has a free edition on WordPress.org.

  • WPML's paid plans bring 22,500 or 45,000 AI-translated words, and the Blog plan has none; Tranzly sets no cap on words.

  • Through 73 tools, Tranzly allows AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT to translate a whole site.
