Crowdin review

Crowdin covers the same ground as Lokalise, localizing apps, games, websites and documents, but with a lower way in. Its free plan supports public projects with 40K hosted words and includes Crowdin AI, Crowdin Assistant and AI Pipeline auto-translation, and non-profit open source projects can request a free license. The paid Pro plan is for private projects starting at 80K hosted words, and the Team plan starts at 500K hosted words with 5 managers, a private workspace, termbase, style guides and context tools. Crowdin lists 700+ apps and integrations, and its mobile SDK delivers translations over the air with real-time preview and screenshots. Managed Balance lets you prepay for machine translation from engines such as DeepL and Google, AI proofreading or professional translators from inside the platform. Note that free plan translations are donated to Crowdin's shared translation memory. The page we fetched showed euro prices, so the USD price is pending.
