How do Bablic and TranslatePress compare?

Avoid database bloat with Bablic's cloud-based software.

TranslatePress stores every translation in your WordPress database, in every language. That keeps everything self-hosted, but your database grows with every page and every language, and your whole translation setup is tied to your WordPress installation.

Bablic hosts your translations in its own managed cloud. Nothing is added to your WordPress database, there's nothing to re-test when WordPress updates, and the same account keeps working if you move to another platform.

Total cost

Every new page spends words.

TranslatePressWord allowance
New pages and new languages draw down the allowance.

The allowance runs out as you grow.

TranslatePress plans include a fixed allowance of TranslatePress AI words, counted per word and per language. Publishing new content or adding a language draws down that allowance. Once it's used, you have to buy extra word packs or pay to connect your own Google Translate or DeepL API key.

bablic.Traffic-based
Priced on visits. No word limits.

Publish as much as you want.

Bablic pricing is based on the traffic your site receives, not the words on it. This means your plan can scale with your business. Your team can publish freely, update content as often as needed, and add new pages without ever worrying about running out of words.

Zero downtime

What switching looks like.

Moving from TranslatePress to Bablic doesn't require downtime. Your Bablic account runs in parallel with your existing WordPress site. Translations can be reviewed and refined before you make anything live. Your site keeps running throughout, and you only publish when you're fully satisfied with the result.
