&lt;p&gt;Used &lt;strong&gt;Lokalise&lt;/strong&gt; on multi-app releases (web/iOS/Android). It’s very dev-friendly: clean API/CLI, Git PR sync, Figma context, solid mobile SDKs, and easy review flows, great for CI/CD. We gate builds on missing keys/placeholder mismatches via webhooks and it’s been reliable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Trade-offs: TM/terminology depth and advanced QA rules aren’t as rich as &lt;strong&gt;memoQ/Phrase&lt;/strong&gt;, and costs can climb with seats/locales.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bottom line: for product teams shipping often, I’d rank &lt;strong&gt;Lokalise&lt;/strong&gt; ≥ &lt;strong&gt;Phrase&lt;/strong&gt;, above &lt;strong&gt;Smartcat&lt;/strong&gt;; for linguist-heavy, enterprise TM control, &lt;strong&gt;memoQ&lt;/strong&gt; still wins.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Has anyone spent time using &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.g2.com/products/lokalise/reviews&quot; rel=&quot;noopener noreferrer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lokalise&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;? I think it could rank higher on my list, but I haven&#39;t used it myself. &lt;/p&gt;
