The answer, as recorded

For most small businesses I'd combine two things: a cheap AI tool for everyday work, and a paid human translator for anything customers or officials will read. Here's who I'd use, in order: 1. **DeepL Pro: for day-to-day translation.** Use it for emails, internal documents and first drafts. It's widely considered the strongest machine translator, and plans start around $10.49 per user per month. Starter includes unlimited text translation and a small monthly document allowance. Team plans add shared glossaries so your terminology stays consistent. Price listings differ a bit between sites, so check DeepL's own page. ([eesel AI](https://www.eesel.ai/blog/deepl-pricing)) 2. **Gengo: cheap human translation with no commitment.** It's pay-per-word: about $0.06/word for Standard and $0.12/word for Advanced translators. There's no minimum spend or setup fee, so it suits product descriptions, marketing copy and support articles where you want a real person but have a small budget. ([Gengo pricing](https://gengo.com/pricing-languages/)) 3. **Weglot: for translating your website.** It plugs into Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace and others, auto-translates your pages with AI, and lets you fix wording in a visual editor. It also handles multilingual SEO. There's a free tier, and paid plans start around €15/month. Price depends on how many words and languages you need. ([OMR Reviews](https://omr.com/en/reviews/product/weglot-website-translation-solution/pricing), [Shopify App Store](https://apps.shopify.com/weglot)) 4. **Tomedes: full service without enterprise minimums.** Pick this when you'd rather hand a project to someone to manage. Every client gets a project manager regardless of project size, and there's round-the-clock human support. Rates start around $0.08-$0.11 per word depending on the language. ([Tomedes](https://www.tomedes.com/translation-services/business-translation), [mindmybusinessnyc](https://www.mindmybusinessnyc.com/translation-companies-growing-businesses/)) 5. **RushTranslate or Day Translations: for certified documents.** Use these for contracts, licenses, immigration or court papers. RushTranslate charges $24.95/page with turnaround from 24 hours. Day Translations starts at $29/page and makes quick orders easy. ([RushTranslate](https://rushtranslate.com/certified-translation), [Day Translations](https://www.daytranslations.com/certified-translation-services/)) 6. **Lokalise: only if you ship an app or software.** It's a localization platform with public pricing from about $140/month, and extra translator and reviewer seats don't cost more. For a small team I'd pick it over Smartling, which doesn't publish prices and is aimed at enterprises. ([Lokalise's own comparison](https://lokalise.com/solutions/alternatives/smartling-alternative/), so it's biased) **Rule of thumb:** machine translation is fine for internal work. For anything legal, anything customer-facing, or anything that could embarrass you, pay a human, or at least have one review the AI's output. **About the sources:** many "best translation services" rankings are written by translation companies or affiliate sites. One example is [translators-usa.com](https://translators-usa.com/best-translation-services/), which ranks TheWordPoint first, so treat those lists with some skepticism. G2's small-business categories are more neutral if you want to compare user reviews: [translation management](https://www.g2.com/categories/translation-management/small-business) and [website translation](https://www.g2.com/categories/website-translation-tools/small-business).
