ConveyThis

ConveyThis is a website translation and localization service for teams expanding a site to international audiences. It is a strong fit for marketers and ecommerce teams that need control over translated pages and storefront content without a lengthy technical project. Its main tradeoff is that the language and usage caps make choosing the right tier essential.

Overview

ConveyThis combines AI or machine translation with human editing tools, including a visual editor and glossary controls. That pairing lets teams refine automated wording and maintain terminology, rather than leaving translated copy untouched. It also handles text in images, buttons, and forms, plus checkout and email localization—useful for ecommerce businesses where untranslated details can interrupt a customer journey.

For search visibility, the service supports hreflang, translated metadata, and localized URLs. Those tools make it relevant beyond simply displaying translated text, though teams should weigh them against the product’s limits on translated languages, words, monthly requests, and websites.

Key features

• Translation and editing: Automatic translation is paired with a visual editor and glossary controls. This gives marketers and editors a way to correct phrasing and manage preferred terminology without treating machine output as final.
• Broader localization: ConveyThis can detect and translate text in images, buttons, and forms, and supports checkout and email localization. That wider scope is more useful for storefronts than a tool focused only on page copy.
• Multilingual SEO: Hreflang, translated metadata, and localized URLs support a localized search presence alongside translated content.
• Integrations and imports: The product lists more than 35 platform integrations, including WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, and Squarespace; JavaScript can be used on other websites. CSV and TMX translation imports are available on every plan, including Free, giving teams a way to bring existing translation material into the workflow.
• AI-agent access: A read-only MCP server is included with the plan. Its read-only scope matters for teams looking for agent access without granting write capability.
• Security: Browser-to-server data is protected with SSL 256-bit encryption, and data is backed up every few hours. Enterprise adds a dedicated GDPR-ready translation server, regional data hosting, encryption in transit and at rest, and a commitment that customer data is not used to train external LLMs or shared with third parties.

Pricing

ConveyThis uses a freemium model, with paid plans billed monthly and a 3-day trial. The free tier is useful for a small site or initial evaluation, but its 5,000-word and 2,500 monthly request caps constrain ongoing use. It includes one language and one domain, as does the $12 a month Starter plan; Starter raises the word allowance to 60,000, making it a modest first step for a single-language site.

Business costs $24 a month for three languages, 200,000 words, and one domain. Business+ is $40 a month for four languages, 400,000 words, and one domain. These tiers suit a growing site that needs more translated content or a few markets, but both remain limited to one website.

Pro is $64 a month for five languages, 800,000 words, and three domains. Pro+ is $110 a month for nine languages, 1,400,000 words, and five domains. Optimum costs $160 a month for 14 languages, 2,000,000 words, and 10 domains. These increases make the middle and upper tiers more suitable for agencies or businesses managing multiple sites, although the price rises alongside the allowances.

Corporate is $240 a month for 20 languages, 3,000,000 words, and 15 domains; Corporate+ is $320 a month for 30 languages, 4,000,000 words, and 20 domains. Advanced costs $480 a month for 40 languages, 8,000,000 words, and 25 domains. Advanced+ is $640 a month for 80 languages, 6,000,000 words, 30 domains, and 3,000,000 monthly translation requests. The final tier has the broadest language and domain allowances, but its word allowance is lower than Advanced, so buyers should compare the specific quotas rather than assume every limit increases with price.

Across the plans, language, word, request, and website caps shape the practical value. Support also scales: Free has limited support, Starter through Business+ have basic support, Pro through Corporate have priority support, and larger plans have premium support. Seat allowances are not provided in the plan details, so teams that need a particular number of users should confirm fit before choosing a tier.

Platforms

ConveyThis is available for web and through an API. Its integrations cover major site builders and ecommerce platforms, while JavaScript use extends it to other websites. The product describes setup as no-code and under five minutes, which makes it appealing to teams seeking a quick installation rather than a long technical project.

Who it's for

Founders, marketers, agencies, and ecommerce teams seeking international reach are the natural audience. It is especially suitable when a team needs more than translated pages: visual editing, glossary controls, multilingual SEO, and localized storefront elements all contribute to the case. A business targeting many languages or managing several sites should pay close attention to the paid-tier quotas. A small site testing one additional language may find Free or Starter sufficient, but should account for the free tier’s request and word caps.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Visual editing and glossary controls provide editorial oversight of automatic translation, helping teams manage wording and terminology.
• Pro: Localization extends to image text, forms, checkout, and email, which is valuable for ecommerce beyond translated page copy.
• Pro: CSV and TMX imports are supported even on Free, giving teams a path to reuse existing translation material from the outset.
• Con: The free plan is capped at one language, 5,000 words, one domain, and 2,500 monthly requests, limiting its usefulness for a substantial live site.
• Con: The plans vary across several separate quotas, and Advanced+ has fewer words than Advanced despite costing more. Buyers need to match each allowance to their actual workload.
• Con: The pricing tiers do not state seat allowances, which may complicate planning for teams with specific collaboration needs.

Alternatives

Crowdin is worth considering when broader platform coverage matters: it supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, web, and API.

Proxylang may suit a reader who wants a small free trial allowance with a stated page-view cap: its Test Drive includes 2K words, one language, 1.5K page views per month, and no credit card requirement.

Webflow CMS is a different starting point for someone exploring Webflow itself: its free Starter plan includes limited CMS, two static pages, 1 GB bandwidth, and 50 form submissions.

Clonable is an option for someone whose priority is cloning a site, with a free plan covering one clone and up to 20 translated pages.

GTranslate may fit a reader seeking a free language-selector widget with machine translation, all languages, and unlimited words and pageviews, but its free plan excludes commercial use and search engine indexing.

Polylang is the alternative to consider for a WordPress-specific plugin approach; it offers a free plugin with community support on wordpress.org.

TextUnited may be preferable when a reader wants a stated free monthly allowance and single-user plan: Self-Service FREE includes 15,000 words per month, 15 PDF pages per month, and one user.

Linguana is another option for a one-language, one-website free plan, with 2,000 AI credits, a Linguana badge, and email support.

Website Translation Software and Translation Software are useful starting points for comparing tools across those categories.

Verdict

ConveyThis is a compelling choice for a business that wants website translation tied to editorial controls, multilingual SEO, and ecommerce localization in one service. Its strength is the breadth of site content and workflows it can localize; its central risk is selecting a plan whose language, word, request, and domain caps do not match the site’s needs. Choose it when those controls and integrations matter, and look elsewhere if a simpler language switcher or a different quota structure is a better fit.
