Key reasons teams switch from Smartcat to XTM Cloud
Automated workflows designed for business growth
XTM Cloud operates through smart workflow systems that adjust to your company needs. Rather than Smartcat's community-based job distribution, our platform directs work using logic, schedules, and quality measures. This organised approach delivers better deadline management and reliable outcomes when your translation workload expands.

Full document previews for better quality
XTM Cloud's SmartContext technology shows complete file layouts for HTML, InDesign, XML, and video materials. Translators view whole document designs instead of separate text segments. This visual approach prevents errors and boosts translation precision compared to Smartcat's basic string-only display.

Transparent artificial intelligence you can trust
Smartcat AI functions like a closed system with unknown model origins. XTM Cloud offers complete visibility into AI processes. Our Advanced AI Pack features Language Guard for compliance checking, Intelligent Score for quality measurement, and workflow-activated automation. You can connect your own language model keys or use hosted models with total control over AI results.

Business-grade terminology management
XTM Cloud provides controlled terminology handling with proper oversight systems. Smartcat's community-shared translation memory approach causes consistency issues when multiple users access shared language resources. Our system keeps translation memories and terminology databases separate to preserve quality standards across all projects.

Multiple hosting options for compliance needs
XTM Cloud supports private cloud and on-site installation choices alongside standard cloud hosting. Smartcat's cloud-only model creates compliance obstacles for regulated sectors that require data location controls or isolated network environments.
