Choose Lokalise if
- You need integrations Parla doesn't have: Lokalise's pricing page lists Figma, GitLab, Jira, Contentful, Webflow and WordPress as well as GitHub.
- You want over-the-air updates to mobile apps; Lokalise lists OTA calls, and Parla doesn't offer them.
- You want a trial without a card: Lokalise lists a 14-day trial with no credit card required.
- You need a mature translation management system with enterprise options; Lokalise offers an Enterprise plan through sales.
Choose Parla if
- You want a lower monthly price: Parla starts at $29 a month, and every plan includes unlimited team members.
- You want broken placeholders, tags and ICU plurals stopped by code before they reach a file, and every exported file checked by parsing it again.
- You want to try it on your own file first, with no account: the sample page translates one file and gives you a valid download.
- You want spending that stops at your plan's words unless you choose otherwise.
