Complexity of Phrase and lack of support prevented full adoption of the tool
“We tested Phrase for seven months but, it was a bit complicated at first because I think certainly we didn't have the proper help to be embodied completely into the solution.”

As your team and content needs grow, Lokalise grows with you
Unlike Phrase, we offer unlimited hosted words on all plans. Our pricing scales sustainably, starting at just $144/month and increasing gradually as you scale. The next plan is $499 and your pick of key integrations (including Figma).
What Lokalise offers that Phrase doesn’t:
A single source of truth. Unlimited hosted words means you’ll never need to delete content to make room for new content or languages
More value, earlier. You don’t need to jump to a $400+ plan from the get go. Start small and scale as you grow.
Predictable scaling. You only pay for what you control, not for limits based on usage. With Phrase, you can quickly hit walls.
Need a more the most user-friendly localization platform?
You’re not alone—even tech-savvy teams struggle with Phrase’s interface, making it difficult to integrate projects. Lokalise, on the other hand, is voted the easiest-to-use localization platform by G2. Users find keys, features, and functionalities inside Lokalise with ease, and complete tasks in just one step, not five.
Some things that Lokalise makes easier:
Easy to set up with an intuitive user interface, and one-click access to features like glossaries and translation memories
A user-friendly Figma integration that makes it easy to manage translations within design files
Top-rated collaborative features facilitate teamwork and streamline the translation process
Better workflow management helps teams manage translation projects more efficiently
Reviews
Manual work in Phrase is frustrating
“It's frustrating that during GitHub sync imports (which we use for our base language, English) deletions aren't accounted for, so we have to manually go into Phrase every time to delete keys.”

Phrase is complex
“I believe it could be simplified, both the UI and the way to integrate it in code.”
