Subscription tiers (Pro, Team, Team+) billed monthly or annually, with managers and hosted words sold as add-ons; organization plans are annual-only and contact-sales.. Free plan: Free plan at $0: essential translator features; open-source projects welcome; limits not published on the static page..
What Crowdin costs
- Entry plan: $60/mo (Pro, monthly billing: 60 is inferred, not displayed. The page shows Pro at $50/mo billed yearly ($600/yr, the same annual total PricingSaaS lists) and says annual billing is 2 months FREE, so annual = 10 x monthly and 600 / 10 = 60. Unlimited translator seats are included; managers and hosted words are add-ons whose prices were not readable.)
- Site in 2 languages: no public price (null: no self-serve plan on the pricing page lists website translation (JavaScript snippet, proxy or CMS plugin). Website Translation appears only as a use-case link.)
- App, 5 users: no public price (null: the scenario needs 5 users with at least 2 manager-level seats and 30,000 hosted words (10,000 source words x 3 languages). Manager and hosted-word add-on prices are not in the static page or readable client data, so no self-serve total was computed.)
Plan compared: Pro plan, monthly billing (inferred, see pointNotes). Prices are USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans and WordPress plugin licences divided by 12): the cheapest paid plan that does each product's core job, a 10,000-word website translated into 2 languages, and an app with 2,000 keys localized into 3 languages by a 5-person team. A dash means the product does not do that job.

Pricing page: crowdin.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Pro monthly price is inferred from the displayed annual price and the page 2 months FREE banner, not displayed; add-on prices and plan limits sit in client-side data that could not be read. Web search was unavailable after the turn search budget ran out, so the price-change check relied on PricingSaaS alone (two April 2026 packaging events, no price change).
