    Smartcat
    ABBY SmartCAT is truly a universal solution that can fit any type of organization from freelancers flying solo, to small team of translators and large translation agencies. Anyone who wants to establish themselves as a professional translator can benefit greatly from the CAT tool that SmartCAT offers absolutely free of charge, while teams will surely appreciate the collaborative features that make it possible to work simultaneously with other translators, proofreaders, editors and QA experts on a single project.

    Weglot
    Weglot is great for a small static website that doesn't have frequent content updates. It is also good for businesses that want to look at only a single language translation. It tends to fall apart when you either have a larger, growing website or multiple languages that you want to translate for. We had the system cut out several times when we first launched due to it repeatedly hitting our translation cap, with little or no warning from the vendor. Once it happened during a critical communication time.

    Cons
    Smartcat
    • Performance has been an issue initially. Sometimes it takes longer for some things to load and it can be frustrating.
    • UI seems a bit confusing at times. For example, I don't understand why I need to have a translator's profile when I'm clearly a project manager.
    • Their support team can take a long time to reply which often crucial for urgent projects.

    Weglot
    • Price model is very poor for larger websites who produce content regularly
    • Price model is also poor for multiple language options (ie, each language translation is a separate cost)
    • Customer service isn't very helpful (non-US based company)

    Alternatives Considered
    Smartcat
    I regularly use the two other products and appreciate Smartcat including more features than MateCat, such as storing of projects and contact with agencies and clients.

    Weglot
    Weglot was really the only option we saw that met the needs of our schools. If we could find another tool that did the same thing for a cheaper price or was more reliable in it's customer service, we would have went with that system. As it is, they seem to the the best game in town, despite the higher price tag.

    Weglot
    • Improves the ability for us to deliver accessible content to various non-speaking constituents
    • High cost for a benefit that used to be free (Google Translate) adds an extra expense to our business
    • Poor customer service means families are sometimes cut off from new translated content, leaving them with a poor experience
