Evaluating Lokalise for a product team? Pricing, migration steps and FAQ

Why teams switch from Lokalise to i1n

5x cheaper to start

i1n Pro is $29/mo and Business is $99/mo. Lokalise Explorer starts at $149/mo. For a product team that translates with AI and reviews internally, it is a fraction of the cost.

Product team edits, engineers sync

Product, content and ops edit copy in the dashboard; engineers pull the same keys with one command. Nobody edits JSON by hand.

Type-safe definitions

i1n auto-generates TypeScript definitions, so a missing key fails at compile time. Lokalise exports files without generated types.

AI agent support

Lokalise's MCP server (in beta) manages keys, tasks, and file uploads from the platform side. i1n closes the loop in your code: your agent extracts strings, pushes, translates, and pulls type-safe definitions in one session.
