It's a convincing pitch and got me to spend some time on your web site. I suggest you consider adding a small free tier to give people more time to get accustomed to the product before committing money.

I appreciate the approach of managing translations outside your backend code, but I wonder about whether the translated content can be indexed by search engines.

I suspect the translations cost too much to have much of a free Tier
Aren't they just records in a database? Assuming Localize has a scalable architecture, it shouldn't be too hard to support sites with little traffic and few phrases.
Most products I know in this space (souce, worked for one years and years ago) were hand translated.

So it was: User types stuff.. stuff goes in a database... a translator gets notified that there is new work.. and he would do it and insert back into the database.. which would eventually make it out to a site.

Google translate style is OK for google results, but not for a professional website.
