Firstly, I want to address the current pricing model of Weglot. The ongoing monthly or yearly cost may seem unreasonable to some website owners. I recommend considering a pricing model that is based on the specific needs of each user. For example, a one-time payment based on the number of languages selected and the amount of content being translated on the website. This way, users can pay for their current translation needs without being tied to a subscription.
This model benefits both the website owner and Weglot. The website owner only pays for the amount of content being translated, and Weglot can charge accordingly based on the work being done.
Moreover, a one-time payment model avoids any unexpected costs for the website owner and allows for flexibility as the website grows. It also provides transparency and scalability as the website expands into different languages.
A monthly or yearly subscription model may not be cost-effective for users with a limited budget or those who only need occasional translation services.
In summary, a customized one-time payment model based on the specific needs of each user would be a more reasonable and fair pricing model for both website owners and Weglot. It eliminates the need for ongoing costs and provides a transparent and flexible pricing structure specific to the services provided by Weglot.
