Tranzly vs WPML
Tranzly's main competitor is WPML. This is how Tranzly compares the two.
In Tranzly's own words.
WPML is an established WordPress translation plugin that costs money. Its yearly plans come with a fixed quota of AI-translated words. Tranzly costs nothing on WordPress.org, supports any number of languages and does not meter words. You plug in your own DeepL or AI account to translate.
Where Tranzly stands out
- The free edition covers any number of languages, plus translated addresses, hreflang tags and sitemaps.
- Words are not capped. You settle up with your translation provider directly and skip word bundles.
- Each translated page triggers two extra database queries at most, and Tranzly sets no cookie. Your caches carry on working.
- Tranzly Pro brings in your languages, translations and translated texts from WPML. You can reverse the import.
Where WPML is strong
- Each paid plan bundles a yearly quota of AI-translated words, so you do not need a separate translation account.
- It ships with its own translation engine, alongside DeepL, Google Translate and Microsoft Translator.
In common
- Each plugin saves every translation as genuine WordPress content that has its own address.
- Each one links to DeepL, Google and Microsoft machine translation.
Differences
- WPML offers no free version. Tranzly has a free edition on WordPress.org.
- WPML plans bundle 22,500 or 45,000 AI-translated words, and the Blog plan bundles none. Tranzly sets no word cap.
- AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT can translate a site with Tranzly through 73 tools.
