Tranzly vs WPML
Tranzly's main competitor is WPML. This is how Tranzly compares the two.
In Tranzly's own words.
For site owners weighing a translation plugin: WPML is a long-standing paid WordPress plugin whose yearly plans come with a set number of AI-translated words. Tranzly costs nothing on WordPress.org, supports unlimited languages and does no word counting, because translation runs through your own DeepL or AI account.
Where Tranzly stands out
- The free edition covers unlimited languages, translated addresses, hreflang and sitemaps.
- Since there are no word limits, you settle up with your translation service directly rather than purchasing word allowances.
- Each translated page triggers at most two additional database queries, and with no cookie in use, caching carries on working.
- Tranzly Pro brings across WPML's languages, translations and translated texts, and the import can be undone.
Where WPML is strong
- Each paid plan bundles a yearly quota of AI-translated words, which removes the need for a separate translation account.
- Its own built-in translation engine sits next to support for DeepL, Google Translate and Microsoft Translator.
In common
- Every translation is kept as genuine WordPress content that has an address of its own, in both plugins.
- DeepL, Google and Microsoft machine translation can be connected in either one.
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 (the Blog plan has none), while Tranzly sets no word limit.
- AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can translate a site through Tranzly's 73 tools.
