The short answer
Weglot wins when translation management, multilingual SEO and a wider web stack carry the decision. Transcy is the better call for a Shopify-only store that wants translation and currency conversion in one app at a lower entry price.
AI translation is available in both products, so it is not what decides this.
What is the main difference between Weglot and Transcy?
Weglot is a website translation system that works across Shopify and the rest of your web stack, while Transcy is a Shopify app that keeps translation, geolocation and currency conversion together inside Shopify.
Both translate with AI, both let teams edit those translations, and both cover multilingual SEO. The real difference is reach. Weglot lists integrations for Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, Framer and custom sites, so one workspace covers your store, a campaign site and your documentation. Transcy is built for Shopify alone, which is an advantage for a Shopify-only merchant and a limit once the work extends past the store.
Is Weglot or Transcy better for multilingual SEO?
Neither app wins this outright, because both cover the parts search engines look for.
Weglot adds hreflang tags automatically, translates your metadata, and creates language subdomains or subdirectories so translated pages can be indexed. Translated URLs come with Pro plans and above.
Transcy’s Shopify listing states translated URLs, hreflang and translated meta tags, with language and currency switching tied to visitor location.
Which languages to launch, how your URLs are structured and where the switcher sits is the next decision. Our guide on how to add multiple languages to Shopify covers that setup.
Which app gives teams more control over translations?
Weglot centralizes translation review in a dedicated workspace, and that is the clearest day-to-day difference between the two.
Weglot’s Visual Editor shows each translation in the context of your live store, and the Translations List handles the full set: glossary entries for brand and product names, page exclusions, media swapped per market. Transcy supports manual editing, glossary rules and localized images too. What differs is the metering. Its Regional plan lists 20 glossary entries and 2 editable languages, its Cross-Border plan 500 entries and 20 languages.
Which app is better for languages and currency conversion?
Transcy is the better fit when currency conversion is part of the same decision, because Weglot does not convert currencies.
Transcy’s Shopify listing advertises 147+ languages and 169+ currencies, switched by visitor location. Weglot lists 110+ languages and does translation only.
Read the plan table before the headline number. Transcy’s 147 languages sit on the Global plan at $599 per month, while its Regional plan at $29 lists 3 languages and 3 currencies. Weglot meters languages per plan too, from 1 on Starter to 20 on Extended. Count the languages you will actually publish, then check which plan carries them.
How do Weglot and Transcy prices compare?
Transcy has the lower listed entry price, and that is as far as a like-for-like comparison goes, because the two products meter different things.
Both have a free plan. Transcy’s paid plans start at $14.90 per month, Weglot’s at an estimated $17 because Weglot bills its standard plans in euros and shows USD as an estimate. Below that the meters diverge. Transcy prices on languages, currencies, AI tokens, glossary entries, localized images, product counts and sync frequency. Weglot prices on translated words and number of languages.
Checked the same day, Transcy’s $14.90 Local Plus plan lists 1 editable language, 1 currency, 100 products and manual sync, and Weglot’s $17 Starter plan lists 1 language and 10,000 translated words. At three languages it is $29 on Transcy’s Regional plan against $32 on Weglot’s Business plan, but each pricing page counts languages differently, so read what the plan includes rather than comparing the two numbers.
Price your own store: source word count, the languages you will publish, how much has to stay editable, and how fast new products need to appear.
