Is Localize worth running as a client service?

Localize offers a strong value proposition for agencies that need to manage multilingual content for clients with ongoing website updates. However, its enterprise pricing and lack of white-label options may limit its fit for smaller agencies or those requiring custom branding. Evidence supports its effectiveness for reducing developer involvement, but the agency must determine its own pricing model and ROI based on its specific costs and client needs.
