What developers say about AutoPoly
Real reviews from real users using AutoPoly with AI translation providers.
I had an issue with some configurations during setup, but the support team helped resolve it immediately.
This plugin is doing a better job for me with translation than other AI plugins I tried before on my website. I just plug it with Gemini Pro and I've paid less than $1 for massive translates on my website with the 2.5 Flash model.
Gemini 1.5 Flash is roughly $0.001–0.01 per 1,000 words translated — about 30× cheaper than GPT-4o. The free tier covers 1,500 requests per day, which handles a typical small WordPress site at zero cost.
No — Gemini API keys are issued directly from Google AI Studio (aistudio.google.com), separate from Google Cloud. The free tier needs only a Google account, no billing setup required.
Our plugin supports Gemini 1.5 Flash (recommended for cost), Gemini 1.5 Pro (highest quality), and Gemini 1.0 Pro. Pick the model from the plugin settings — we recommend Flash for most use cases.
Gemini's 1M-token context window means an entire long article can be translated in a single request. That preserves voice, terminology, and references across the whole document — important for editorial content where consistency matters.
For pure translation quality on common European languages, OpenAI's GPT-4o has a slight edge. But Gemini wins decisively on cost-per-translation and on long documents thanks to its huge context window. Most users find Gemini's quality is more than enough at a fraction of the cost.
