Een Weglot-alternatief dat woorden anders telt

It depends on what pushed you to look. If the word cap is the problem, compare what each plan includes rather than the headline price — Proxylang’s $15 plan carries 20,000 words and 2 languages against Weglot’s €15 for 10,000 words and one language. If search visibility is the problem, look for a service that serves crawlers server-rendered pages without requiring an enterprise contract. If cost growth is the problem, check whether translated words are re-billed every month or stored permanently.

At the same monthly price you get more. Proxylang’s Lite plan is $15 a month for 20,000 words and 2 languages; Weglot’s comparable plan is €15 for 10,000 words and one language. Proxylang’s Start plan is $39 for 100,000 words and 3 languages. Both services meter words and languages, so compare those two numbers rather than the price on its own. Proxylang also stores translated words permanently rather than re-metering them each month.

Yes. Add Proxylang alongside your current setup, check the translated pages on your own site, and remove the old snippet once you are satisfied. In script-tag and hybrid mode nothing about your hosting or DNS changes, so there is no cutover moment. Keep both live for as long as you want to compare them.

Not if the language URLs stay the same shape. Proxylang serves each language from a path on your own domain with hreflang tags and per-language sitemaps, from the Start plan up. Keep your existing language paths, let the new pages be crawled, and the URLs search engines already know continue to resolve.

Three things, going by what each service publishes. Hybrid mode, where visitors are translated in the browser and search engines are served pages rendered on the server, without moving your DNS. Full reverse-proxy mode from the $99 Pro plan, where Weglot keeps a custom reverse proxy for Enterprise. And image translation you get by tagging an image and letting the AI redraw the text inside it, where the equivalent Weglot workflow is creating and uploading each translated image yourself. Translation quality is also tuned specifically for Asian to Western language pairs, which is where generic engines degrade most.

No. Pages are translated on first request and cached, so you do not import anything to get started. Any wording you had corrected by hand in your old tool is worth re-applying — in Proxylang those live as per-string overrides and as a glossary of terms that are never translated in any language.
