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 a long time as a paid WordPress translation plugin, with yearly plans that bundle a set number of AI-translated words. Tranzly takes another route: its edition on WordPress.org costs nothing, covers any number of languages and does not count words at all, because the translating is done through your own DeepL or AI account.
Where Tranzly stands out
- The edition on WordPress.org has no price and supports any number of languages, with translated addresses, hreflang and sitemaps included.
- Word caps do not exist here. Your payments go straight to whichever translation service you use, so there are no word packs to buy.
- Each translated page adds two database queries at most, and no cookie is set, which leaves your caching working normally.
- Tranzly Pro can bring across the languages, translations and translated texts from WPML, and the import can be reversed.
Where WPML is strong
- Every paid plan carries a yearly amount of AI-translated words, so you do not have to set up a translation account of your own.
- Besides DeepL, Google Translate and Microsoft Translator, it has a translation engine of its own.
In common
- Each tool saves every translation as genuine WordPress content that has its own address.
- Each can link up with machine translation from DeepL, Google and Microsoft.
Differences
- WPML offers no version without a fee, whereas Tranzly has a no-cost edition listed on WordPress.org.
- WPML's paid plans give either 22,500 or 45,000 AI-translated words, and the Blog plan gives none. Tranzly sets no limit on words.
- With Tranzly, AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT can translate a whole site using 73 tools.
