Gloty vs. Weglot
Both translate your whole site automatically. The difference is where your translations live — and what happens when the bill grows or you stop paying.
Weglot is a polished, platform-agnostic SaaS: install the connector, add an API key, and your site is machine-translated in minutes. But your translations live on Weglot's servers and you're billed by unique word count and number of languages — and if you cancel, the translated pages stop serving. Gloty does the same automatic translation, but stores everything in your own WordPress database with no per-word meter.
Choose Gloty if…
- You want translations you own and keep — in your own database
- Your content volume (or traffic) makes per-word SaaS pricing painful
- You want to bring your own OpenAI / Anthropic / DeepL / Google key
- You want translated pages to keep serving even if you stop paying
Choose Weglot if…
- You're not on WordPress (Shopify, Webflow, Wix, custom) — Weglot is platform-agnostic
- You want a fully managed service with zero database footprint
- You want the absolute fastest possible setup and don't mind the cloud

Where Gloty differs
What you get with Gloty
Your translations, in your database
Weglot stores translations on its own servers and serves them through its infrastructure. With Gloty, every translation is written to your WordPress database — no third-party custody, no export-before-you-lose-it step.
No per-word meter, no language surcharge
Weglot bills by unique word count and number of languages; crossing a tier can multiply your monthly cost. Gloty has no word cap — you pay your AI provider for usage (often a few dollars) or a flat managed plan.
Cancellation doesn't erase your site
Stop paying Weglot and the translated pages stop serving, then get de-indexed. Gloty's translations already live in your database, so they keep serving no matter what.
Gloty vs. Weglot — FAQ
- Is Gloty a drop-in Weglot replacement?
- For WordPress, yes — Gloty covers the same essentials (automatic translation, language-prefixed URLs, hreflang, a visual editor, WooCommerce). The main difference is that translations are stored and served locally from your own site instead of Weglot's cloud. Weglot also supports non-WordPress platforms, which Gloty does not.
- Will I save money switching from Weglot?
- Usually, once you have real content volume. Weglot's price climbs with unique words and languages; Gloty removes the word meter entirely — you either bring your own AI key and pay the provider for usage, or take a flat managed plan.
- What happens to my Weglot translations if I migrate?
- Export them from Weglot first (it offers import/export). You can then re-use that content, and Gloty will translate anything new automatically and store it in your database going forward.
