Are there any good alternatives to TranslatePress plugin?
There are few alternatives to TranslatePress plugin. The closest one is Prisna Translation plugin. Works very similar. It’s also SEO optimized. Do not have all bells and whistles of TranslatePress but it may be much more cost effective for 1-3 pages. It cost around $50 for use on 1 domain + 5 sub-domains. And it’s a lifetime license! I have a few Prisna licenses and it works good. Thei support usually reply within 24h. Prisna use Google gateway translation which now improved a lot. So you do not have to pay for translation at all if you use it reasonable. At the time of writing Prisna do not support Deepl translation.
