Swaeve › Compare
One platform for every language, not an add-on.
Swaeve is a multilingual communication platform: chat, voice notes, calls, meetings and a team workspace where everyone uses their own language. Most meeting tools sell language support as an extra licence per person, and it usually stops at captions in meetings.
| Tool | Cost of working across languages | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Swaeve | Chats, voice notes and calls free. Translated voice in meetings from $10 a month (Plus, about 3 hours). Team $22 per member with about 5 hours each; Business $200 for 10 members. | Each person hears and reads their own language, in chat, voice notes and meetings, plus a recap in each language. |
| Zoom | A paid Zoom licence plus the translated captions add-on (about $5 per user a month), or a higher plan that includes it | Captions in another language. Speakers aren't heard in your language. |
| Microsoft Teams | A Microsoft 365 business plan plus Teams Premium (about $10 per user a month) for live translated captions | Captions; spoken translation needs further Microsoft AI licences. |
| Google Meet | Speech translation on selected Google Workspace plans (Business Standard and up, from about $14 per user a month) | Spoken translation inside Meet, for the plan's supported languages. |
| Event interpreting (Interprefy, KUDO and others) | Quoted per event, often with human interpreters by the hour | Best for conferences and summits; not for everyday chats with a supplier. |
