A Localize.js alternative, honestly compared
Both translate SaaS frontends via a JavaScript snippet. We differ on rules, sovereignty and price shape.
Is BeMyWords a good Localize.js alternative?
Yes, if you want the JavaScript-snippet install plus a rulebook the model cannot ignore. Glossary, translation memory, substitutions, do-not-translate lists and per-language AI prompts are enforced on every run, on every plan. Build mode ships the finished files inside your own deploy, and the price is a flat tier by words stored — or a flat rate if you bring your own AI key. Seats are never counted.
| Localize.js | BeMyWords | |
|---|---|---|
| Install | JavaScript snippet | JavaScript snippet, or build-time files, or the REST API — one project can switch anytime |
| Runtime | Served from their infrastructure | Embed serves from us, same as theirs — or Build mode ships translations inside your own deploy, where runtime never touches us |
| Rules | Glossary and TM | Glossary + TM + substitutions + DNT + per-language AI prompts, enforced on every run |
| Pricing shape | Quoted per customer — driven by content volume, pageviews, languages and workflow | Published flat tiers by words stored — or BYOK flat with your own AI key |
| Proof | Reports in-app | In-app reports too — plus the monthly proof receipt, emailed to owners without anyone asking for it |

What does BeMyWords cost?
Free to start: 5,000 words stored, 1 site, no card. Paid tiers start at 199 kr a month, or 1 990 kr for a year. They count the words you store, the original plus each translation of it, and never people, pageviews or a cap on how many languages you run. Bring your own AI key and it is 199 kr a month flat with no word limit.
Which tier that is depends on how many words your site holds. Paste your address and we read it and tell you.
