A POEditor alternative that does not count your strings
POEditor is a solid, simple translation tool. Its plans are set almost entirely by how many strings you store, so a growing app moves up a tier for adding copy. LocalizeMe charges per workspace instead and never counts strings.

Why teams switch
- Adding a language multiplies strings on POEditor. On LocalizeMe it costs nothing.
- POEditor exports import as they are, in all ten formats, with plurals, contexts and nested JSON intact. A production project has already moved this way.
- Members are unlimited on Pro, so inviting translators never changes the bill.
Where POEditor is the better fit
- POEditor lists Git and Slack or Teams integrations on every plan. LocalizeMe offers webhooks, a CLI and a REST API instead of native Git sync.
- POEditor has been around far longer and has a larger community of existing users.
Questions
Can I move my POEditor project to LocalizeMe?
Yes. Export each language from POEditor in any of its formats and import the files. Plural forms, contexts and nested keys come across, and the export from LocalizeMe matches the original by value.
Is there really no string limit?
Yes, on every plan, Free included. Plans differ in projects, members, screenshots and webhooks, never in strings, keys or languages.
