Our verdict: Crowdin
Crowdin is the natural choice for an SMB tech company developing a digital product with a team or community of translators. Its free plan for open source is unbeatable. For a brochure site or simple e-commerce, it's oversized: Weglot or Localize will be faster to set up.
Our verdict: Phrase
Phrase is relevant for an SMB with a dedicated localization team or regularly using external translators. The learning curve is real and pricing grows fast for teams. If you don't have in-house translators, Smartcat or Crowdin offer a better entry point.
