Picking a Weblate alternative comes down to two questions: who runs the platform, and who pays for the AI. On LingoHub, we run the platform for you in the EU, and AI credits for LINA, the AI inside LingoHub come with your plan, along with every integration we offer. Open-source projects and non-profits can use LingoHub for free on request.

We run LingoHub's servers and upgrades under SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. Hosted Weblate runs the servers for you too. Self-hosted Weblate is free under the GPLv3+ license and asks for your team's time instead: deployment, maintenance, upgrades and troubleshooting, with Weblate's paid support if you want help.
Hosted Weblate charges by hosted strings, and the source language counts too: source strings × (target languages + 1). If you connect machine translation or AI providers, they may bill you separately. On LingoHub, adding a target language doesn't change the price: its translations count toward the hosted characters in your plan.

LingoHub Platform
Platform is a single plan at €249 a month, or €209 a month billed yearly (€2,508 a year). It includes 5 million hosted characters and 500k AI credits a month for LINA.

Hosted Weblate at 6 languages
Across 2,000+ LingoHub projects, the median project translates into 6 target languages. An app with 2,000 source strings at that median comes to 14,000 hosted strings, which is Weblate's 40k plan at €70 a month.

Hosted Weblate at 20 languages
The same app in 20 target languages comes to 42,000 hosted strings, which moves it up to the 160k plan at €114 a month.
LingoHub syncs with your branches
LingoHub pulls new source strings from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps or AWS CodeCommit on every commit or on a schedule. Translations go back as a pull request (a merge request on GitLab) or a direct commit. One project can follow several branches, with progress for each, and the same workspace connects Figma, Storyblok, Contentful, HubSpot, Zendesk and Crisp for content that never touches the repository.
LINA works per target language
You give LINA a role for each target language. As Translator, it translates with your glossary, translation memory and style guide, and a team member approves. As Agent, it also checks and approves, and your team handles only the segments it marks Blocked.
Weblate commits from its own clone
Weblate keeps its own copy of your repository, pulls changes, commits translations and pushes them back. It has app and webhook integrations for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos, Gitea, Forgejo, Gitee and Pagure. Machine translation and LLM output can be saved as suggestions, drafts or translations, and an optional LLM evaluation flags issues for reviewers.

Questions teams ask when they move from Weblate.
Can I run LingoHub on my own servers?
Yes, on LingoHub Enterprise, on request. Enterprise also adds custom roles and a custom LLM. It’s priced on a yearly contract, and you’ll get a written proposal within a week.
Is there a Weblate alternative for Android apps?
Yes. LingoHub syncs your Android string files from your repository and can deliver translation updates over the air with its open-source Android SDK, which supports API 24 and up and both XML and Compose.
Does LingoHub check placeholders and ICU syntax the way Weblate does?
Yes, on every plan. Before a file leaves LingoHub, quality checks catch missing or changed placeholders, ICU syntax errors, tags and length limits. For LINA, you also pick checks for glossary terms, spacing, punctuation, and date, time and number formats in the target locale. In the Agent role, LINA retries a segment that fails a check up to 3 times before it marks it Blocked.
