⚖️ Comparing Smartling Plans

Smartling offers two distinct plans to accommodate your needs, no matter what stage you're at with localizing your brand:

  1. Growth
  2. Enterprise

Growth

If you're new to localization and just need the bare minimum functionality, Growth will help get you started. Upload your files via drag & drop and let Smartling Language Services take care of the rest.

Enterprise

Now that your brand is recognized across continents and time zones, you will need all the bells and whistles to optimize your localization process. With our Enterprise plan, you can automate a lot of the heavy lifting. Enterprise also gives you access to Smartling's Professional and Managed Services.

Below is a comparison of the two plans with Smartling's key functionality.
