Tranzly vs WPML

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

Tranzly is a WordPress.org plugin with a free edition that covers unlimited languages and keeps no tally of words; translation runs through your own DeepL or AI account. WPML, by contrast, has been around for years as a paid WordPress translation plugin, selling yearly plans that bundle a set number of AI-translated words.

Tranzly stands out

  1. The free edition covers any number of languages, along with translated addresses, hreflang and sitemaps.

  2. Words are not capped. Instead of buying allowances, you settle up with your translation service directly.

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

  4. Tranzly Pro brings across WPML's languages, translations and translated texts, and the import can be reversed.

WPML is strong

  1. Every paid plan bundles a yearly amount of AI-translated words, meaning you do not have to set up a separate translation account.

  2. Alongside DeepL, Google Translate and Microsoft Translator, it provides a translation engine of its own.

Both

  1. Each plugin keeps every translation as genuine WordPress content that has its own address.

  2. Each one can plug into machine translation from DeepL, Google and Microsoft.

Where they differ

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

  2. WPML's paid plans come with 22,500 or 45,000 AI-translated words, and the Blog plan has none; Tranzly sets no limit on words.

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