An Unlimited Alternative to Transcy

Transcy imposes strict limits on the number of languages according to your pricing plan. Reversia eliminates these barriers with unlimited languages, superior translation quality, and dedicated support that truly makes a difference.

Are you looking for alternatives to Transcy?

Transcy, launched in 2020 by OneCommerce, quickly established itself as a popular Shopify app with over 2,600 reviews. This solution combines translation and currency conversion in a single application, which appeals to many merchants seeking an all-in-one approach.

However, its pricing model quickly reveals its limitations: the free plan allows only one language, the Basic plan ($11.90/month) only 2 languages, and even the Growth plan at $29.90/month gives you access to only 5 editable languages.

Additionally, several users report significant performance issues, with PageSpeed scores dropping to as low as 28 after installation.

Reversia adopts a radically different philosophy: unlimited languages regardless of your plan, premium translation quality with Anthropic's Claude, and zero impact on your performance thanks to native database integration.

We focus exclusively on what we do best - excellent e-commerce translation - with personalized support that goes far beyond standard technical support. True freedom for international expansion, accessible to all.

Reason #1

Deploy as Many Languages as Your Ambition Requires

Transcy imposes strict caps that hinder your international expansion. Their free plan? Only one language. The Basic plan at $11.90/month? Only 2 languages. Even upgrading to the Growth plan at $29.90/month, you're limited to 5 editable languages.

Reversia refuses this restrictive logic. With our solution, translate into as many languages as necessary, without ever paying a cent more. 3 languages or 30 languages, the price remains the same. Want to test the Polish market this week? Add it. Brazilian Portuguese next month? No problem. This total freedom transforms your internationalization strategy: instead of rationing your markets due to budget constraints, you make decisions based solely on business criteria. Test, experiment, grow without artificial limits.

Reason #2

Claude Excellence vs Generic Translation

Transcy relies on standard translation engines: Google Translate, DeepL, OpenAI depending on plans, and even Baidu for Chinese. These general solutions produce correct translations for informational content but fail with the subtleties of online commerce. Product descriptions lack commercial punch, calls-to-action lose their urgency, brand storytelling becomes diluted in literal translation. Several users also mention having to manually review automatic translations to obtain acceptable results.

Reversia focuses entirely on Anthropic's Claude, specifically trained on millions of e-commerce texts. This deep specialization radically changes the game: Claude understands that a product description must sell, not simply inform. It preserves urgency ("Only 3 left in stock!"), adapts emotional register according to target culture, maintains the persuasive impact of your commercial arguments. Your German, Japanese, or Brazilian customers feel exactly the same desire to purchase as your French-speaking customers. Translation becomes a conversion amplifier, not just a linguistic exercise.

Reason #4

Dedicated Support vs Standard Technical Support

Transcy proudly displays its 24/7 support, and reviews confirm they respond quickly to technical questions. However, this support remains focused on technical assistance: bug resolution, installation help, settings configuration. It's reactive support that answers your immediate problems but doesn't strategically accompany you in your international development. You remain alone facing critical decisions: which languages to prioritize, how to adapt your content strategy, how to optimize your conversions by market.

Reversia goes beyond technical support with genuine dedicated accompaniment for your international success. Our team doesn't just solve your problems: we advise you on your deployment strategy, share best practices observed among hundreds of merchants, help you prioritize your markets according to your sector. You benefit from deep e-commerce expertise, not simply a technical helpdesk. This difference in approach is measured in your results: our clients don't just deploy translations, they build winning international strategies.

Our Opinion on Transcy

Transcy suits merchants testing international markets with 1-2 languages and appreciating having currency conversion integrated. The 24/7 customer support is indeed responsive.

However, the strict language limits (2 to 5 depending on plan), documented performance impact, and generic translation quality (standard Google Translate) make it an entry-level solution that quickly shows its limits for true international expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions About Transcy

Understand the fundamental differences between these two approaches to make the best choice for your Shopify store.

What are the real language limits at Transcy?

Transcy imposes strict caps: 1 language free, 2 languages at $11.90/month, 5 languages at $29.90/month. To exceed 5 languages, you must upgrade to Premium at $59.90/month with additional technical limitations. Reversia completely eliminates these barriers with totally unlimited languages regardless of your plan. 10, 20, 50 languages: the price never changes. Reversia élimine complètement ces barrières avec des langues totalement illimitées quel que soit votre plan. 10, 20, 50 langues : le tarif ne change jamais.
How does translation quality really compare?

Transcy uses standard engines (Google Translate, DeepL, OpenAI) that produce generic translations without understanding e-commerce context. Several users mention having to manually correct. Reversia leverages Anthropic's Claude specifically trained on millions of commercial texts. Each translation preserves sales intent and adapts tone to maximize conversions.
What is the real impact on performance?

Transcy shows documented performance issues: users report PageSpeed scores dropping to as low as 28 after installation, with slowdowns particularly visible on mobile. Reversia maintains your performance at optimal level thanks to native database integration. No external JavaScript, no added latency, identical loading times regardless of language.
What about support and accompaniment?

Transcy offers responsive 24/7 technical support to resolve installation and configuration issues. It's an efficient helpdesk for immediate technical assistance. Reversia goes beyond with dedicated strategic accompaniment: advice on your international deployment, sharing of best practices, in-depth e-commerce expertise to maximize your results.
Do I really need integrated currency conversion?

Transcy combines translation and currency conversion (167 currencies) in a single app, which seems convenient but complicates the solution and contributes to performance issues. Reversia focuses exclusively on excellent translation. For currencies, use Shopify Markets (free and native) or a specialized app - each tool excels in its specialty.
Which pricing model is more predictable?

Transcy works in tiers with escalating costs: each language addition brings you closer to (or pushes you into) a more expensive higher plan. Reversia offers a single fixed rate regardless of the number of languages deployed. Total budget predictability, no surprises, no pricing optimization necessary.
