Transparent pricing with no sales call is rare in this category. ([pricing](https://rushtranslate.com/pricing))\n2. **Translators USA** - worth a quote if you also need live interpreting or audio-visual work alongside documents, so you're not juggling two vendors. ([source](https://translators-usa.com/best-translation-services-for-small-businesses-in/))\n\n## Your website / app going multilingual\n1. **Weglot** - the one I'd recommend to almost any small business. €15/mo Starter (10,000 words, 1 language), scaling to €29 Business and €79 Pro; installs on any CMS without a developer and handles multilingual SEO (proper subdirectories and hreflang), which is the part DIY setups get wrong. Two months free on annual. ([pricing comparison](https://localizely.com/compare/weglot-vs-lokalis", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
