Localizely review
A budget-conscious TMS with core workflows, automation, QA, and translation services.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Localizely is a cloud translation management system for software localization teams working on mobile apps, games, websites, and other software. Developers, localization managers, translators, and reviewers can manage localization files, projects, tasks, screenshots, versioning, and collaborative editing in one platform. Access spans web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and API, giving teams several ways to work with localization content.
Pricing is structured around a Free plan, a 15-day trial, and paid tiers. The Free plan includes Machine Translation, AI Translation, and Translation Orders. Starter costs $16 per month with annual billing or $19 monthly; Advanced costs $32 annually or $39 monthly; and Pro costs $65 annually or $79 monthly. Bronze costs $125 per month with annual billing and lists advanced features. The trial requires no credit card and downgrades to the Free plan afterward, while the paid plans list standard features except Bronze.
For teams with software repositories and established localization workflows, Localizely combines translation memory, project glossaries, terminology management, task assignments, workflow automation, and QA checks for placeholders, ICU syntax, and length limits. GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, AWS S3, Figma, Gengo, REST API, and Flutter SDK integrations extend its platform fit, while branching, localization versioning, CLI access, webhooks, and Flutter over-the-air translation updates support ongoing product releases. Professional translation orders add a service option within the same system. Localizely suits budget-conscious teams that need broad TMS basics and developer-facing automation; teams needing the listed advanced features should look beyond the Free plan to Bronze.
