Tranzly vs WPML
The comparison Tranzly published with its listing, against its main competitor, WPML.
Anyone weighing two WordPress translation tools should note the split. WPML is an established paid plugin whose yearly plans come with a fixed quota of AI-translated words. Tranzly is available at no cost on WordPress.org, supports any number of languages and does no word counting: translation runs through your own DeepL or AI account.
Tranzly stands out
- The no-cost edition on WordPress.org covers unlimited languages, translated addresses, hreflang and sitemaps.
- Since there is no word cap, you settle up with your translation provider directly rather than purchasing word allowances.
- Each translated page adds two extra database queries at most, and since no cookie is set, caching carries on as usual.
- Tranzly Pro can bring in WPML's languages, translations and translated texts, and the import can be reversed.
WPML is strong
- Every paid plan bundles a yearly quota of AI-translated words, which removes the need for a separate translation account.
- Alongside DeepL, Google Translate and Microsoft Translator, it ships a translation engine of its own.
Both
- Each plugin keeps every translation as genuine WordPress content that has an address of its own.
- Machine translation from DeepL, Google and Microsoft can be hooked up to either one.
Where they differ
- WPML offers no free version, whereas Tranzly's free edition sits on WordPress.org.
- WPML's paid plans bring 22,500 or 45,000 AI-translated words, and the Blog plan brings none; Tranzly sets no word limit.
- Through 73 tools, Tranzly allows AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT to translate a whole site.
