Weglot has some features in common with langify, especially when it comes to having a user-friendly interface. Weglot is also easy to install and set up and can translate your entire store. But there’s a lot Weglot lacks, and it falls short in being the best translation app you can choose. For starters, it’s pretty expensive.
