On 2026-10-06, Weglot's pricing page listed a free plan and five paid plans, from Starter at €15 a month to Extended at €699 a month, with Enterprise priced on request. Prices exclude VAT. The two limits that decide most plan choices are how many languages you translate into and how many words your translated site holds in total; plans also differ in monthly translation requests, a traffic-linked limit covered below. The word limit is fixed and does not renew each month, which is the detail that decides most Weglot bills.

Weglot's plans and prices#

These are the figures on Weglot's own page, in euros, excluding VAT. Weglot shows dollar prices too, but says they are an estimate and that the final price follows the EUR/USD rate on the day you subscribe.

The number of projects (websites), team members and monthly translation requests also varies by plan; those figures load on the page and are worth checking for your plan. Weglot's FAQ defines translation requests as the calls your website makes to its translation API in a month, "approximately equal to the number of monthly translated page views on your website." Unlike the word count, that limit follows your traffic.

Paying yearly gets "2 months free", so a year costs ten times the monthly price. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free period.

Some features depend on the tier as well. The page lists access to professional translators from Business, statistics and translated URLs from Pro, export and import from Advanced, and a top-level domain per language on Extended. Weglot's help center confirms that translating URL slugs needs Pro or higher, and that importing slug translations from a CSV file needs Advanced.

How Weglot counts words#

Weglot's limit is "Total unique words translated across all your languages." Two things follow from that sentence.

The first is that languages multiply. Weglot's help center gives the example of an 8,000-word site in three languages, which comes to about 24,000 translated words. The FAQ on the pricing page works through another: 20 pages of about 500 words each, in two languages, is 20,000 words.

The second is what counts as a word. The same help article says the count includes "visible and invisible content, such as SEO metadata of your website", which covers meta titles, descriptions and image alt text. Media translations and external links you add by hand do not add to it. The count is not related to traffic, and the FAQ adds that "a translated word is only counted once and not each time it's translated."

Translations are created as pages are visited. Weglot's help center says they are "generated and added progressively" when someone, whether you, a visitor or a search engine crawler, opens the site in a translated language. So a site's count can keep rising for a while after setup as less visited pages are reached.

Is Weglot free?#

Yes, for a small site. The free plan covers 2,000 words in one language, with limited support. A new account starts on the 14-day trial and moves to the free plan by itself afterwards if the project has fewer than 2,000 words. Otherwise, the pricing page says, "Weglot will stop translating your website and you will need to upgrade your account." For scale, 2,000 words is about four pages of 500 words in a single language.

What happens when you go over the limit#

Weglot emails you. What happens next depends on the auto-upgrade setting in the Billing section of the Weglot dashboard:

  • With auto-upgrade on, Weglot's help center says it moves the account to the next plan two days after the email. The same article says auto-upgrade does not apply on Extended or higher.
  • With auto-upgrade off, Weglot stops translating above the limit. Words already translated stay translated, but newly detected words are not translated.

The pricing page adds a third way back under the limit: deleting translations you no longer need. If an upgrade happened without your noticing, Weglot's help center says support can downgrade the plan and refund it on request.

Three site sizes, priced#

Each example adds a little for metadata, because Weglot counts titles, descriptions and alt text as well as body copy.

A small brochure site#

Ten pages, about 4,000 words, translated into Spanish. That is roughly 4,000 translated words plus metadata, inside the 10,000 on Weglot's Starter plan. Cost: €15 a month or €150 a year. The free plan's 2,000 words would not cover it.

A company site in two languages#

Thirty pages, about 15,000 words, into French and German: about 30,000 translated words. Weglot's Starter allows only one language, so this is Business, which covers three languages and 50,000 words. Cost: €29 a month or €290 a year, with room for some growth.

A content-heavy site in four languages#

A blog or catalogue of 60,000 words, into four languages: about 240,000 translated words. Weglot's Pro allows five languages but holds 200,000 words, so this site lands on Advanced. Cost: €299 a month or €2,990 a year. The step from Pro to Advanced is €220 a month, and a site crosses it by growing, without adding a language.

What Weglot does well#

Weglot works on many platforms. Its integrations page names WordPress, Shopify, Wix, BigCommerce, Webflow, Squarespace, Drupal and WooCommerce, among others, and says it is compatible with all website technologies through a general integration. If your site is not on WordPress, that reach is the main reason to choose it.

It is also simple to try. There is a free plan to fall back on after the trial and a 14-day trial on every paid plan. Business lists access to professional translators from the same account, which is useful if some pages need a human translation and others do not.

How the same three sites would price on LangRelay#

LangRelay counts differently, so the comparison needs care. Our allowance is Billable words: the source words we machine-translate in a month, once per language. Text that has not changed uses nothing the next month, and your own edits never use words. The limit renews monthly instead of growing with the size of the translated site.

  • The brochure site: Free covers 2,000 words a month in one language, and every plan adds a one-time welcome grant (4,000 words on Free). That pays for the first translation, but Free has no glossary, so most businesses would use Starter at €19 a month. Weglot's Starter is €4 a month cheaper here.
  • The company site: 30,000 words in the first month fits Starter's 50,000. Starter covers up to 3 Sites and 3 languages per Site, at €19 a month.
  • The content-heavy site: four languages is more than Starter's three per Site, so this is Growth at €69 a month, with 500,000 words a month and up to 10 languages per Site.

One limit on that comparison is on our side. LangRelay serves search-friendly translated pages on WordPress only, through its plugin; on other platforms its script tag translates in the browser and makes no SEO claim. Our LangRelay vs Weglot comparison covers the rest of the differences, and our pricing page lists every plan.

Questions people ask about Weglot's price#

Does Weglot charge per language?#

Not directly. Each plan includes a number of languages, and every language you add multiplies the words your site uses against the limit.

Do Weglot's words reset each month?#

No. The pricing page describes the limit as fixed: "This is a fixed limit and does not renew." It is a cap on the total translated words your site holds.

Is Weglot worth the price?#

It depends on how big your site is and what platform it runs on. On a small site, or on a platform other than WordPress, Weglot's lower tiers are competitive. On a large WordPress site with several languages, compare the fixed total with what a monthly allowance would cost; our guide to website translation cost shows the arithmetic, and the buyer's guide compares LangRelay with seven alternatives.
