Lokalise review

Lokalise is built for teams that ship software in many languages. Every plan includes unlimited hosted words and unlimited standard seats, document localization and 24/7 support, and the platform adds in-context editors for web and mobile, screenshots and over-the-air delivery so translators see where a string appears. Explorer costs $149 per month with annual billing and suits a first app, with 5 projects, 10 languages, 2 integrations and 240K standard AI or machine translated words a year. Growth at $379 per month removes the project and language limits, adds glossary and translation memory and includes 40K Pro AI translated words a year. Advanced at $1,049 adds style guides, branching, versioning and user groups. That ladder is the main drawback: core translation assets that a growing team will want sit on the second tier, and there is no free plan beyond the 14-day trial. For app teams with a developer workflow, it is one of the most complete options.
