Lokalise vs Unbabel — Comparison

Lokalise

Lokalise is a continuous localization and translation management platform. It integrates into your development workflow so you can ship localized prod

We’re Lokalisers, a team of technology optimists and innovators dedicated to modernizing localization processes, so you can improve efficiency and break down language and cultural barriers effortlessly. Founders Nick and Petr never set out to create a localization platform—let alone one of the fastest-growing SaaS startups in the Baltic region. Their journey began when they teamed up to build a mobile app that helped users avoid roaming fees while traveling. As the app grew past a million users, with customers signing up from different language-speaking regions, they needed to translate it. However, existing translation management solutions were slow, lacked context, and required tedious manual work. Frustrated with the inefficiencies, Nick, a self-taught developer, built a custom tool to automate translation and maintain context within the app. What started as an internal solution quickly proved to be a game-changer for many. Lokalise has evolved beyond a translation management system (TMS) and is now the most intuitive localization platform used by Fortune 500 companies and startups worldwide. Unlock continuous and collaborative localization so you can easily adapt and deploy content for every market, language, or culture. AI translation and auto-selection For me, global growth isn’t just a business objective — it’s deeply personal. As a French native living in the UK, married to an Indian national, and a mother of two, I’m surrounded by diversity every day. My family and I share a passion for exploring new cultures and discovering the world together. Magnus is a seasoned technology leader with extensive experience in growth, marketing technology, media, and localization. Residing in Stockholm with his wife and two children, he has a deep passion for the sea. During the warmer months, you'll often find him sailing or boating, making the most of Sweden's beautiful waters. Sahil is Lokalise’s CPO, scaling products without losing clarity or craft. Based in Berlin, he thrives on turning complex problems into simple solutions for global teams. Outside of work, he is an avid reader and a passionate international cricket fan. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me in the kitchen cooking, enjoying the outdoors, or staying active through swimming, reformer Pilates, and playing Padel. Outside of work, you’ll find me moving, basking, or booking flights. I’m into books that make me think, sweaty workouts that chase endorphins, and sunshine that makes me forget what day it is. Al is Chief Revenue Officer at Lokalise, leading global sales and partnerships. He builds high-agency teams that match the company's global yet locally-rooted spirit. Outside work, he’s biking in Richmond Park (pretending to be a pro!) or juggling life with four kids. Etgar Bonar is the Chief Marketing Officer at Lokalise. A veteran of scaling demand for Amazon, Taboola, and Johnson Johnson, his career spans the US, Europe, and APAC. Etgar holds an MBA from London Busi
