Our verdict: Lokalise
Lokalise targets startups and SMB tech companies managing a multilingual application or SaaS product with a mixed team (devs + translators). It's a serious investment from $144/month: pointless if you just have a brochure site:Weglot will do the job at lower cost.
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.
