Hello,
I’m not sure what you mean. Weglot Translate is actually free if your website has less than 2000 words. What is your website ?
Best
I 100% agree with cerkoxxl. You gave free solution what actually is almost unusable. Maybe someone who have a site with literally contact form and 1-2 pages with short text could use free version otherwise it will not be enough.
Just to give visual presentation on what means 2.000 words, i got this link randomly searching google for “short stories”: https://americanliterature.com/author/hh-munro-saki/short-story/the-dreamer.
It contains almost 1.500 words, now see how many pages (forget about any post) you can fit inside free version.
This is not first plugin i saw doing this, offering free almost unusable version of the plugin and using WP website purely to promote their paid product. I hope one day WP will start banning the authors doing this and removing their plugins.
If you want “real deal” you will have to spend at least 150EUR (165USD)/year for just one site. There are much better solutions for less money.

Hello,
To give you an insight, 90% are using the free plan and only 10% are paying.
So no, the free version is not “unusable”
I agree with you 2000 words is not a lot if you write content, so indeed, for bloggers, you will be over 2000 words.
But a lot of WP website are actually not blogs, they are landing page for apps, or small website for a hotel, a restaurant with 5-6 pages and few content. All these websites are using Weglot for free and we are helping them with free support also.
Why do we offer 2000 and not more ?
The answer is simple : automatic translations are not free, we have to pay them for every words. It means that for every free users, we are losing money.
I hope this help you understand our position. Keep in mind that we could also not have a free plan.
Finally, you can find other solutions, they are a lot of free solutions or less expensive. But we are the only plugin offering automatic translations + SEO support.
Don’t hesitate if you have more questions.
@remy B: Thank you for your reply and explanation. Soon i will need a plugin similar to your and if i will use i will post my review/rating.
