Pricing of locize
No fix price plans - all our costs are variable and basedâšon your real usage.
How are costs calculated?
For each word in your project, excluding versions. The cost for the number of words is recurring every month. The charge for words reflect costs for storage and network usage.
Every modification done via editor (added, updated, deleted, copy) manually or via file import or API gets counted (excluding save missings, translation orders and overwriting versions. This cost reflects the usage of locize and enables us to charge less in times you use locize less.
Download of translations from our CDN to your users get accounted. This costs are only charged if you directly use the translations served from our CDN.
Regular downloads are public. So those translations would be visible to public even during development. To avoid leaking confidential informations during development (eg. new features) you can use private publish options which only enables downloads using an API key - so the translations are not publicly accessible. Private downloads occur when using the "Fetch private namespace resources" endpoint or the "Fetch/filter the (unpublished) namespace resources" endpoint.
If you donât have or prefer not to use your own external AI API key (e.g. OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, etc.), you can use the built-in locize AI service instead.
Each AI-assisted translation or refinement consumes AI tokens, billed based on your actual usage.
âHow AI tokens are calculated
Each AI request includes both an input and an output part:
- The input typically includes the translation prompt, instructions, context, glossary and translation memory matches.
- The output represents the generated translation result.
Both are combined into a single AI token count using locizeâs internal algorithm, ensuring fair and consistent pricing across all usage scenarios.
Youâll only ever see one unified AI token value â no separate input or output billing.
Included AI tokens
To help you get started, locize automatically adds free AI tokens to your account:
- When creating a new project (a small starter amount)
- When you subscribe to a paid plan (a larger initial amount)
- With each paid invoice (a small bonus percentage based on your invoice total)
Additional AI tokens
If you need more, you can purchase extra AI tokens at any time â theyâll simply be added to your next invoice.

Why no fixed plans?
While fixed plans are more common - variable prices are fair.
Never being forced to be auto upgraded from a $49 to a $199 plan just because you cross a limit (words, pageviews, languages, users) just marginally (your real usage would be around $50 - but the plan forces you to use the "large plan" starting at $199).
Never pay a bigger plan just because of that one feature you need most but was not included in your current plan
Costs are based on your projects size and success
Costs adapt to your usage: having months with less modifications (usage of locize app) you pay less
Costs grow slower the bigger your project gets
