What is Lokalise?

Lokalise is a localization management platform for translating software, apps and other digital content, combining translation workflows, AI and machine translation, integrations, an API and over-the-air (OTA) updates. It runs as a web app, with a REST API, a CLI, and OTA SDKs for iOS, Android and Flutter apps.

Who it's for

Lokalise's developer and plan pages target product, engineering and localization teams that manage translations across several projects, repositories and design tools. Its plans scale advanced seats, integrations, quotas and governance features from Explorer to Enterprise.

Pros & cons

Strengths

Lokalise's help center says billing is based on processed words, not the number of keys, that translation keys are unlimited, and that hosted words and translator and reviewer seats are unlimited on paid plans.
Lokalise lists Git sync with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure Repos, a REST API, a Go-based CLI, webhooks, and OTA SDKs for iOS, Android and Flutter.
Lokalise lists integrations with Figma, Jira, Contentful, Webflow, WordPress, Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage, and says it supports 300+ languages and file formats such as .strings, .xliff, .json, .po, .resx and .xlsx.
Lokalise's developer page lists an MCP server that gives Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-compatible tools access to a project, plus custom AI profiles that use translation memory and glossaries, and AI Scoring against MQM criteria.
Lokalise's security page lists a SOC 2 Type II assessment, ISO 27001 and 27017 certification, GDPR compliance with a named Data Protection Officer, and customer data stored on AWS infrastructure in EU regions.
Lokalise's help center says every plan includes API access (capped at 6 requests per second), and that paid plans include unlimited OTA requests with data transfer limited by plan (10 GB a month on Explorer up to 500 GB on Enterprise).

Limitations

Each plan has fixed yearly quotas (processed words, Pro AI words) plus monthly OTA data; Lokalise says the affected feature stops working when a limit is exceeded, unused quota does not roll over, and some metrics can be topped up to a stated maximum.
Features are tiered: glossary, translation memory and in-context editors start at Growth; branching, versioning, user groups and two-factor authentication start at Advanced; SSO, audit logs, personalized AI models and a dedicated CSM are Enterprise. Growth does not include SSO.
Lokalise's pages disagree on the Free plan: the pricing page lists only a 14-day trial and no permanent free plan, one help article says accounts move to a Free plan (10,000 processed words a year) after the trial, and the trial article says you must upgrade to keep using the service.
Lokalise's pages disagree on Growth: 300,000 processed words and 50,000 Pro AI words a year on the Growth and new-plans pages, versus 225,000 and 40,000 on the available-plans page. Lokalise's developer page also says Git sync with branching is on all plans, while the plans article reserves branching for Advanced and up.
Lokalise's AI statement says customer content may be used to improve its services unless the customer opts out through the AI Addendum, and that its internal AI Scoring model can be trained on customer content with consent; it says third-party LLM providers may not train on it. The statement is internally inconsistent on whether this is opt-out or opt-in.

Monthly prices for Explorer, Growth and Advanced were read from lokalise.com/pricing; the page has a monthly/yearly toggle but no yearly prices appeared in the readable text, and no Enterprise price is shown. Quotas come from Lokalise help-center articles, which conflict on Growth and on the Free plan; the Free row and the Growth word count are Reported. Credit cards are accepted for Explorer and Growth only, and bank transfer only on annual Advanced and Enterprise plans. Confirm on the live pricing page.
