Lingvit vs ConveyThis
Both are website translation widgets with automatic MT and WordPress support. The difference is in pricing model, product scope, and free-tier policy.
Pricing: usage vs word count
ConveyThis prices by word count — the total number of words on your site. As your content library grows, your monthly bill climbs regardless of how many visitors actually use translations. A large site with low international traffic still pays for every word.
Lingvit charges per translation served: you pay only when a visitor views translated content. Cached translations can be served repeatedly without using your allowance. A content-rich site with concentrated international traffic scales proportionally to actual usage — not content volume.
Scope: websites vs all web products
ConveyThis is designed primarily for content websites and CMS platforms — WordPress, Shopify, Wix, and similar. It works well in that context but is not built for translating SaaS dashboards, web apps with post-hydration rendering, internal CRMs, or single-page applications driven by JavaScript frameworks.
Lingvit uses a MutationObserver approach that handles any HTML-rendering product: a React or Vue SPA, an Angular dashboard, a CRM portal, or a classic CMS-powered site. If it renders text in the DOM, Lingvit translates it.

What's the main difference between Lingvit and ConveyThis?
The key difference is pricing model and product scope. ConveyThis charges by word count — as your site grows in content, costs increase even if traffic stays flat.
