Frequently Asked Questions

Does Lokalise have a free plan?

Lokalise does not offer a permanent free tier. All plans come with a 14-day free trial that requires no credit card, giving teams full access to evaluate the platform before committing to a paid subscription.

What pricing model does Lokalise use?

Lokalise uses a tiered subscription model with monthly or annual billing. Plans are structured by team size and feature depth, from an entry-level Explorer plan for small teams up to a custom Enterprise plan for large organizations. Higher tiers unlock advanced AI features, SSO, and dedicated support.

What tools does Lokalise integrate with?

Lokalise offers 60+ native integrations across the full product stack, including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Figma, Contentful, Webflow, WordPress, HubSpot, Zendesk, Intercom, Jira, Slack, and Zapier. It also ships SDKs for major programming languages and a CLI for custom pipeline integration.

How does Lokalise's AI translation work?

Lokalise routes translations through multiple AI language models and selects the best output per segment — a multi-LLM approach. Teams can create custom AI translation profiles to encode their brand tone, terminology, and style guidelines, so AI-generated translations stay consistent with the product's voice across all languages.

Is Lokalise suitable for non-technical users like marketers or content managers?

Yes. While Lokalise has deep developer tooling, it also provides a visual translation editor, Figma integration, and direct connectors to CMS and marketing platforms like HubSpot, Braze, and Webflow. Localization managers and marketing teams can manage translation workflows without touching code.
