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: Smartcat
Smartcat is ideal for SMBs with regular translation needs who want to combine AI and human translators without managing contractors outside the platform. Marketplace access is limited to Enterprise plans: if you need third-party translators from the start, negotiate an Enterprise plan or evaluate Phrase.
