How to choose

How to choose a XTRF alternative

  1. 1

    What your bill is tied to

    XTRF has no public price. It is quoted privately, while review sites describe a yearly platform fee, named users and paid add-ons. Ask what your quote and renewal cover, and whether the cost changes with your team size or the extras you need.

  2. 2

    Where your records stay

    Your clients, linguists, rates and project history are your business records. Check what you can export and keep if you leave, and whether the alternative stores them in a database you own rather than only giving you a rented view.

  3. 3

    How it fits your rules

    List the rules your team follows, such as who can revise a translation, which credentials a job needs, and what fields you use for clients and work. A standard product may not match those decisions. An owned version can be built around your rules and fields.

  4. 4

    What the switch involves

    XTRF lets you export its views to CSV. Clients, vendors with their language combinations, and projects can come across from those lists, with a test run to identify rows that cannot be read. Credentials, competence records and confidentiality agreements need to be entered fresh from their source.

The option that fits

Own a version built for your agency

Translation Agency for Claude Code gives you an owned version shaped around the way your agency works, rather than another standard product. Enterprise DNA builds it around your rules and fields, brings your XTRF data across, and runs it for you. Your records sit in a database you own, and you can run it in plain language. The arrangement is one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you prefer to run it yourself, there is a free version.

Questions

XTRF alternatives, answered

Can you use the free version without paying Enterprise DNA? expand_more

Yes. The free version is open source under the MIT licence. You can run it on your own computer or your own database, change anything, and do not need an account with Enterprise DNA. It is an option if you are willing to run it yourself.

What XTRF records can you bring across? expand_more

Clients, vendors with their language combinations, and projects can come across from the lists XTRF lets you export. Enterprise DNA runs a test first and identifies rows it could not read. NAATI credentials, competence records and confidentiality agreements are entered fresh from their source because every check rests on them.

Will clients and linguists need to use portals? expand_more

The free version has no client or vendor portals. Clients email their files and linguists reply to job offers by email. Enterprise DNA can build a portal for uploads or job offers into your version, with the information written into the same records.

Does it send invoices or pay linguists for you? expand_more

No. It drafts client invoices and linguist pay runs from finished work and tracks what is owed both ways. Sending invoices, paying people and keeping the books stay in your accounts system and your bank.
