Locize vs. Tolgee:Managed vs. Self-Hosted
Tolgee is a modern, open-source alternative.
But choosing Tolgee often means choosing a new job: Infrastructure Management.
Locize is the Managed Evolution for teams that want to ship, not maintain.
The "Maintenance Tax"
Tolgee's self-hosted version is "free," but it comes with a hidden cost: your developers' time.
dns Tolgee (Self-Hosted)
- You manage the database & backups
- You handle security patches & updates
- You build your own global distribution
cloud_done Locize (Managed)
- We handle the high-availability DB
- Global Edge CDN included out of the box
- Zero-DevOps: We scale, you code
The i18next Advantage
Tolgee uses its own proprietary SDKs.
While they are modern, they don't have the 10+ year ecosystem of i18next.
Because Locize is built by the creators of i18next, you get native support for every plugin, framework, and edge case in the industry standard.
