Lokalise or Crowdin if you're actually shipping software or an app rather than a marketing site - they're built around developer workflows and continuous releases, which Weglot isn't.

The answer, as recorded
Translation splits into three very different jobs, and the right pick depends on which one you have. Here's who I'd actually name for each: ## Everyday documents, emails, drafts **DeepL Pro** - my default recommendation. Noticeably better output quality than Google Translate on European languages, and the Pro plan gives you a glossary so your product names and industry terms stay consistent across every document. Starter runs about **$10.49/month**, Advanced $34.49 if you need editable document translation and more glossary entries. The free tier is good enough to test it before you pay. **Google Translate** - still the honest answer for quick, low-stakes comprehension, and it's free. Don't use it for anything a customer will read. ## Your website **Weglot** - the one I'd pick for a small business site. It installs on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, etc. in under an hour, auto-detects your content, handles the SEO side (translated URLs, hreflang tags) that DIY approaches get wrong, and lets you hand-edit any machine translation you don't like. **Free up to 2,000 words / 1 language**, then €9.90/month Starter, €19/month Business. Start on Starter and only move up when word count forces you. **Lokalise** or **Crowdin** if you're actually shipping software or an app rather than a marketing site - they're built around developer workflows and continuous releases, which Weglot isn't. ## Certified / official documents If you need a signed certificate of accuracy for USCIS, a university, a bank, or a court, machine translation is disqualified. **RushTranslate** - **$24.95/page** (250 words), 24-hour turnaround, 65+ languages, USCIS-accepted certificate included. Best price-to-reliability ratio I've seen. **Rev** - **$33/page**, so more expensive, but you get unlimited revisions and a phone-reachable help desk. Worth the premium if the document is high-stakes or you expect back-and-forth. ## Human translation for marketing copy **Gengo** - **~$0.08/word** flat at Standard and Advanced tiers, no contract, no minimum. This is the right tool for translating a landing page, a brochure, or product descriptions where machine output would embarrass you. Pay per job and walk away. **Smartling** - **$0.12-$0.14/word** traditional, $0.17-$0.20 premium with subject-matter experts. Genuinely good, but it's a translation management platform with enterprise onboarding attached. I'd skip it as a small business unless you're translating continuously into 5+ languages and need the workflow tooling. **What I'd do if I were you:** DeepL Pro for internal work, Weglot for the site, Gengo for anything customer-facing that matters, RushTranslate when something needs a stamp. That stack costs under $35/month plus per-job fees, and it covers roughly everything a small business hits. Avoid the big agencies - TransPerfect, Lionbridge - at your size; their pricing and minimums assume an enterprise procurement department.
