Why teams switch from Transifex to i1n

Built for developers, not translators

i1n is infrastructure that lives in your codebase. No separate TMS to manage, no translator onboarding.

AI-first translation

AI translation with automatic variable protection and brand voice. Translate 200K+ strings in parallel.

10x cheaper

Transifex starts at $75/mo. i1n starts at $0/mo with a generous free tier.

2-minute setup

2 minutes to first translation. Plus a native MCP server — Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf execute i1n commands directly. Transifex offers no comparable agent workflow — i1n closes the full loop: extract, push, translate, and pull type-safe definitions in one session.
