Head to head
Proxylang vs Weglot
Proxylang and Weglot both meter by words and languages, but the same money goes further on Proxylang: 100k words and 3 languages on the entry plan against Weglot's 10k and one. You also get hybrid mode, full reverse-proxy on every plan (Weglot saves that for Enterprise), Asian↔Western-tuned translation, and automatic image translation, where Weglot makes you upload each translated image by hand.
Proxylang vs GTranslate
GTranslate's free widget renders client-side only, so search engines never see it. Proxylang serves crawlers real pre-rendered HTML, translates with LLM quality tuned for Asian↔Western pairs, and its free plan runs the same engine as the paid ones.
Proxylang vs ConveyThis
ConveyThis is cheap to start but caps words, languages, and domains, and reviewers report costs climbing year over year. Proxylang's entry plan gives you 3 languages and 100k words, adds hybrid mode and Reverse Search Translation, and reads the full page for context so translations read naturally.
Proxylang vs Linguise
Linguise is cheap but covers one site per plan, charges extra for its dedicated-LLM engine, and has no permanent free tier. Proxylang includes LLM translation in every plan, a permanent free tier, and script-tag, hybrid, and full-proxy installs, all from one account.
Proxylang vs Localize
Localize is quote-only and priced on monthly pageviews, so costs are unpredictable and rise with traffic. Proxylang publishes its prices, starts free, never bills cached views, and adds hybrid and full-proxy modes Localize doesn't offer.
Proxylang vs Clonable
Clonable clones your site per language and meters by page count, which gets unpredictable at scale, with no script-tag or hybrid option. Proxylang gives you the same proxy architecture plus two lighter install modes, word metering, and cached views that never re-bill.
Proxylang vs WPML
WPML is WordPress-only, setup is famously involved, and translation runs on prepaid credit top-ups. Proxylang works everywhere (free WordPress plugin included), installs in about 60 seconds, needs no credits, and delivers LLM quality tuned for Asian↔Western pairs.
Common questions
How is this comparison data collected?
Every claim was checked against each vendor's public pricing page, documentation, or major review platforms (G2, Capterra) as of July 2026. Where a vendor doesn't publish a data point, we mark it "not publicly documented" rather than guessing. If you spot something outdated, tell us and we'll fix it.
What makes Proxylang different from Weglot, GTranslate, and ConveyThis?
Three things: install flexibility (script-tag, hybrid, and full reverse-proxy modes on every plan), a hybrid mode that serves visitors instant client-side translation while search engines get pre-rendered HTML, and more words and languages at each price point — plus automatic image translation and Reverse Search Translation most competitors don't offer.
Can I switch to Proxylang from another translation service?
Yes. Because Proxylang works from a script tag or DNS setting, there is nothing to migrate. Remove the old snippet or plugin, add Proxylang, and your pages re-translate automatically. Glossary rules and no-translate terms can be recreated in the dashboard in minutes.
Are Proxylang translations indexed by Google?
Yes. In hybrid and proxy modes, search engines receive fully pre-rendered translated HTML with correct hreflang tags and localized URLs (/es/, /fr/, /de/) on Pro plans and up. Naver, Bing, and Yandex are supported alongside Google.
Does Proxylang have a free plan?
Yes. 2,000 words, 1 language, and 1,500 monthly page views, running on the same translation engine and infrastructure as paid plans. No credit card required.
