Choose DeepL if
- Teams translating European languages at volume
Choose Lokalise if
- Teams adding languages — language count does not affect the price
- Agencies with many translators, since translator seats are unlimited
Where each one disappoints
DeepL
- Languages outside its supported set — coverage is narrower than Google
Lokalise
- Small sites — the entry plan is $144/mo before any translation volume
