AnyLang or Wordly: which one fits your room
Both translate a live speaker with AI and send it to phones in the room. They differ in what you are billed for, and in whether a person can take one of the languages.
One bills the session. The other bills the listening.
Wordly charges an hourly rate for the session, and that rate covers every language it offers. AnyLang charges by the minute for each language somebody is actually listening to — a language you enabled and nobody picked costs you nothing. Which is cheaper depends on how many languages people actually pick: at the one or two most rooms use, paying only for what was listened to comes in well under a flat rate for a whole catalogue, and the more languages you run at once the more a flat rate has going for it. AnyLang caps a broadcast at five output languages either way, which is enough for almost every room and not enough for a UN-style programme.

Side by side
Checked against wordly.ai in September 2026. We quote no price of theirs on purpose — a number we do not control goes stale and becomes a false claim. Check theirs and compare it with ours.
| Wordly | AnyLang | |
|---|---|---|
| What you are billed for | An hourly rate for the session, bought as a block of hours in advance. | About a minute of one language, and only while somebody is listening to it. |
| A language nobody picks | Included in the hourly rate either way. | Costs you nothing. The translation only opens when its first listener arrives. |
| Languages at once | Many — the published catalogue is over sixty, all inside the one rate. | Five output languages per broadcast, plus captions in the language being spoken. |
| Human interpreters | Not part of the product — it is an AI-only platform, and says so. | Any of your output languages can go to a person on the same broadcast — one interpreter per language, as many languages as you have people for. No AI runs on a covered language while listeners stay with the person, so you pay the connection rather than the translation. |
| Unused time | Hours are bought ahead as a package, with a minimum size and a window to use them in. | Credits never expire and there is nothing to commit to. A church that broadcasts forty Sundays pays for forty Sundays, whenever they fall. |
| Getting a price | A published starting rate and an online store, with larger volumes arranged through their sales team. | The full price list is on our pricing page, and the smallest pack is small enough to test with. |
| What a listener does | Opens a link on their own phone and picks a language. | The same — a link or a six-character code, in the browser, no account. |

What you get here that you do not get there
The first is the one people switch for. The rest are the things a per-minute meter and a browser make possible.
People can take the languages
Your own interpreters speak an output language each while AI carries the rest, all on one broadcast. Listeners on a covered language can switch between the two.
Nothing to sign
No subscription, no commitment, no block of hours to reserve. Credits sit on the account until you spend them.
Music is left alone
Singing is recognized and not translated, so it does not come out as invented lyrics — and those minutes do not carry the cost of a translated one.
Tuned for the room you are in
Set the organization type and the model changes its instructions. For churches it renders scripture from a published Bible in each language.
A broadcast that outlives the tab
Push from OBS, vMix or any RTMP encoder and the broadcast belongs to the session rather than the browser, so it keeps translating with the console closed.
A transcript that admits its gaps
Every language the AI translated is kept as text, with the untranscribed stretches marked rather than quietly closed up. A language a person interpreted has audio but no transcript — nothing transcribes an interpreter.
What AnyLang does that Wordly does not
Wordly is a capable AI platform and a lot of large events run on it. These are the things it does not offer, taken from what it publishes about itself — if none of them matters to you, the comparison above is the whole decision.
- Human interpreters on the same broadcast. Wordly describes itself as AI-only. With AnyLang your own interpreters take an output language each and speak it — one person per language, as many languages as you have people for. Listeners on a covered language choose between the person and the model, and no AI runs on it while they stay with the person, so you pay the connection rather than the translation.
- Nothing to commit to up front. No block of hours reserved in advance and no subscription: credits are bought when you need them and never expire, so a month with no broadcasts costs you nothing.
- Billing that follows what people chose, not what you enabled. A language you enabled and nobody selected opens nothing, so you can offer one you are unsure about without paying to find out.
- Music recognized and left untranslated, so singing does not come out as invented lyrics — and those minutes do not carry the cost of a translated one.
- A model tuned to the room. Set the organization type and the instructions change with it; for churches, scripture is rendered from a published Bible translation chosen per language rather than translated afresh. Your own glossary of names and terms sits on top.
- A smaller first step. Their smallest package is a block of hours, valid for a year; our smallest pack is €20 and covers several services, and the 30 free credits let you try a Sunday without buying anything at all.
Common questions
Is AnyLang cheaper than Wordly?
It depends entirely on how many languages people actually listen to. Our rate is about €0.10 (RON 0.55) per minute for one language. Compare that against whatever hourly rate you are quoted, remembering that theirs covers every language and ours only covers the ones somebody chose. At one or two languages we are much cheaper. At a dozen we are not — and we cap a broadcast at five anyway.
Can I use my own interpreter with Wordly?
Not as part of the product — it is an AI-only platform and does not hide that. With AnyLang an interpreter takes an output language on the same broadcast, others can take others, the rest stay on AI, and listeners on a covered language can switch between the person and the machine. While they stay with the person no AI runs on that language, so you pay the connection rather than the translation — a fraction of what a translated language costs. A listener who switches to the AI starts it billing normally.
Do I have to migrate anything?
No. There is nothing to move — no attendee accounts, no installed software, no room hardware. You create an organization, pick your languages, and hand out a link or a six-character code. Testing it alongside what you already use costs a Sunday and the 30 free credits.
Can I run both for one event?
Yes, and for a first comparison it is the sensible thing to do. They are independent: both take audio from the same desk and both deliver to the audience's own phones, so you can put our code on the screen beside theirs and let people tell you which they prefer.
What happens when my credits run out mid-service?
The broadcast is stopped when the balance reaches zero. The console carries what is left and turns it amber as the runway gets short. Credits bought in another tab reach a running broadcast within about fifteen seconds, so somebody can top up without the speaker noticing.
