Free, or from €19 a month
ConveyThis translates almost any platform and shows translations as it makes them. LangRelay translates WordPress and waits for your approval.
ConveyThis is the broader tool: more than 35 platforms, a visual editor on every plan, a permanent free plan and a read-only MCP server today. On WordPress, LangRelay gives you more control: nothing goes live until it is approved, edits are picked up about a minute later, and Relay drafts the changes you ask for.
When to choose LangRelay, and when to choose ConveyThis
Choose LangRelay if
- Your site runs on WordPress and you want nothing published that nobody checked.
- You want to describe a change in a sentence and have an agent draft it, with a second agent checking its work.
- You want an edit picked up about a minute later, without waiting for a visit to the translated page.
- You would rather pay for the translation you do each month than for the words visitors are shown.
Choose ConveyThis if
- Your site runs on Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Squarespace or another platform beyond WordPress.
- You want your own AI assistant to read your translations, glossary and stats today, through an MCP server.
- You want human proofreading, offered through ConveyThis’s partner agency.
- You want machine translation shown the moment it exists, without a review step.
ConveyThis is broad until a translation needs sign-off
ConveyThis is built to work on almost any platform. The differences are about who checks a translation and when it changes.
01
Who decides what goes live
ConveyThis lets you keep a site private while you review and edit, then publish it; we found no approval step for each translation in its documentation. LangRelay holds every translation until someone approves it.
02
Keeping translations current
ConveyThis’s help center says translations are generated when you visit a page in the translated language, and changed text gets a new translation. LangRelay’s WordPress plugin reports an edit about a minute later, and only the new text is translated.
03
AI that reviews, not only translates
ConveyThis picks Google Translate, DeepL or Microsoft for each language pair, and you can order human proofreading through its partner agency. In LangRelay, Relay drafts the changes you ask for, and a separate reviewer agent checks each one the way a language expert would.
04
Working with your own AI
ConveyThis already has an MCP server: your own assistant can read projects, strings, glossary and stats, but not edit or publish. LangRelay’s MCP is on the way. Today you ask Relay, LangRelay’s built-in agent, which drafts changes for your approval.
05
Where it works
ConveyThis lists more than 35 platform integrations, plus any site through a script, and can route a subdomain or subdirectory through its servers on Business and up. LangRelay serves search-friendly translations on WordPress; elsewhere its script embed translates in the browser, without SEO value.
06
What you pay for
ConveyThis counts words when translated content is shown to a visitor, shares them across your sites, and caps page loads each month. LangRelay’s allowance is the translation you do each month: text that has not changed, or is reused, costs nothing again.

Translation that waits for your yes
The translating is the easy part. LangRelay is built around what happens next: checking it, changing it, and deciding when it goes live.
01
Nothing goes live unapproved
Every translation waits for someone to approve it. Then activate one page, or everything approved at once.
02
Ask Relay in a sentence
Relay reads your Site’s pages and translations and drafts the change you describe, for you to approve. It can never approve or publish on its own.
03
A second agent checks Relay’s work
Every change Relay drafts goes to a separate reviewer agent, which checks it the way a language expert would.
04
Edit on the rendered page
Click any text in the visual editor to change it, at desktop, tablet or mobile width, with titles and meta in the same panel.
Install the plugin and your site comes across
LangRelay doesn’t need an export from ConveyThis. Install the plugin, connect your Site, and LangRelay crawls your pages and translates them into the languages you choose.
What comes across
- Every page the crawl finds, translated into your languages
- Subdirectory URLs like /fr/, the structure ConveyThis’s WordPress plugin uses
- hreflang, a canonical per language, and translated titles and meta
Translations are made fresh, so the first crawl uses words from your allowance. URLs you translated in ConveyThis are set again by hand. If it served languages on subdomains, add redirects to the /fr/ paths.
What you pay, and what it counts
Words counted when translated content is shown to a visitor, shared across your sites, plus a monthly cap on page loads. Prices in US dollars, excluding VAT.
LangRelay Starter
€19a month
3 Sites, 3 languages per Site and 150K words a month. A word is a source word translated into one language; unchanged and reused text uses none.
Or start free: 1 Site, 1 language, 10K words a month.
ConveyThis
$12a month
Starter, $12 a month: 1 language, 60,000 words, 15,000 page loads.
Free plan: 10,000 words, 1 language, 1 site, 2,500 page loads a month.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask when they weigh ConveyThis against LangRelay: how each one stores and publishes translations, what the prices count, and what moving involves.
Something we missed? Book a demo or write to us.
Is LangRelay a ConveyThis alternative?
Yes, for WordPress sites. Like ConveyThis, LangRelay translates the rendered WordPress page, and adds an approval step for every translation and an agent that drafts changes for you. For Shopify, Wix, Webflow or other platforms, ConveyThis covers more today.
Does ConveyThis duplicate WordPress posts?
Not by ConveyThis’s own description. Its WordPress listing says the plugin takes a snapshot of the rendered page, keeps translations on ConveyThis’s servers, and never needs to access your site’s database. LangRelay also translates the rendered page and keeps one post.
Can I review ConveyThis translations before they go live?
ConveyThis says you can review and edit translations in private mode before making them visible, and publish or unpublish a site from its dashboard. We found no approval step for each translation in its documentation. In LangRelay, nothing goes live until it is approved.
How does ConveyThis pricing compare with LangRelay?
They count different things. ConveyThis counts words when translated content is shown to a visitor (bots don’t count), shares them across your sites, and caps page loads: Starter is $12 a month for 1 language, 60,000 words and 15,000 page loads, and more than one site starts on Pro at $64 a month. Its Free plan has no time limit. LangRelay counts the words it translates each month: Starter (€19 a month) includes 3 Sites, 3 languages per Site and 150,000 words. After the first translation, only new or changed text uses words.
Do ConveyThis and LangRelay have an MCP server?
ConveyThis does. Its MCP server is read-only: your assistant can look up projects, strings, glossary terms and stats, but cannot edit or publish. LangRelay’s MCP is on the way; today you can ask Relay, LangRelay’s built-in agent, from inside the dashboard.
Can I switch from ConveyThis to LangRelay?
Yes, on WordPress. Install the LangRelay plugin and connect your Site; LangRelay crawls and translates your pages, so you don’t need an export from ConveyThis to start. If you translated URLs in ConveyThis, set the same slugs in LangRelay so existing links keep working.
