--- title: "NoaLingua vs Trancy · NoaLingua" description: "Trancy covers more video platforms and connected AI services. NoaLingua goes deeper on a narrower promise, entirely on your own machine. What we verified." url: "https://noalingua.com/compare/noalingua-vs-trancy/" language: "en" modified: "2026-09-10" license: "CC BY 4.0 — https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" --- Comparison # NoaLingua vs Trancy: platform breadth against local depth Choose Trancy for breadth — more named streaming and course platforms, full-page translation and connected AI features. Choose NoaLingua for a no-account, local-first loop across YouTube, Netflix, PDFs and web text, with practice and spaced review built in. **Disclosure:** NoaLingua is our product. NoaSolutions builds it and earns money when people buy it. Weigh this comparison accordingly, including the rows where we say we lose. [How we research these](https://noalingua.com/editorial-policy/). Checked against Trancy’s [official pricing and features page](https://www.trancy.org/en/pricing) on 21 August 2026. Some rows were confirmed against their [official pricing page](https://www.trancy.org/en/pricing) , [Chrome Web Store listing](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/trancy-immersive-translat/mjdbhokoopacimoekfgkcoogikbfgngb) instead; each such row says so. What we could not confirm on 21 August 2026 Trancy's main source was readable, but it did not settle every criterion in this table. 2 of the 7 rows are therefore marked unverified rather than filled in from memory. Our rule is that a claim about another product cites that product’s own page. When we cannot read the page, the honest answer is to say so and send you to [check it yourself](https://www.trancy.org/en/pricing). Researched and written by [Nemanja Pejić](https://noalingua.com/authors/nemanja-pejic/) · Founder and developer of NoaLingua Published 18 August 2026 · Updated 10 September 2026 Research method ## How NoaLingua checked this comparison **NoaLingua:** checked against its product source and plain captures at version 0.2.36. **Trancy:** checked against its own [official pricing and features page](https://www.trancy.org/en/pricing) on 21 August 2026. No logged-in competitor account was used for this revision, so it is an official-source comparison rather than a hands-on competitor test. There are no competitor screenshots presented as first-hand proof; behaviours the official sources did not settle remain explicitly unverified in the table. **Criteria used** - supported content and devices - lookup, capture and review workflow - account and data model - free and paid boundaries - speaking practice and stated limits ## Side by side | | NoaLingua | Trancy | | --- | --- | --- | | Platform breadth They win this | YouTube and Netflix have dedicated support; any other site works only if it exposes a readable caption track | The official pricing page names YouTube, Netflix, HBO, Disney+, TED, Coursera and Udemy among its supported video and course platforms [official pricing page](https://www.trancy.org/en/pricing), 21 August 2026 | | Maturity and user base They win this | Version 0.2.36, 115 users and 5 Chrome Web Store ratings (5.0/5) | Version 7.9.1, 300,000 users, rated 4.7 out of 5 from 2.8K ratings [Chrome Web Store listing](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/trancy-immersive-translat/mjdbhokoopacimoekfgkcoogikbfgngb), 18 August 2026 | | Pricing and tiers | Every feature free on every supported site; paid plans remove a deck-size cap. €3.99/mo, €29/yr, €49 once | The official page shows Free, Premium and Premium plus advanced-AI tiers.

Every comparison on this site has at least one, because a comparison the author wins outright is one nobody should believe. ## Choose NoaLingua if… - You value local storage and no product account. - You want many review formats without an AI token allowance. - A lifetime purchase option matters. - Desktop Chrome is where you study. ## Choose Trancy if… - You need streaming or course platforms beyond YouTube and Netflix. - You want hosted AI analysis and full-page translation. - Cross-device access matters more than local ownership. Not sure Trancy is the one you are comparing against? If you have already decided to leave it and want a shortlist rather than a head-to-head, [alternatives to Trancy](https://noalingua.com/alternatives/trancy/) is organised by the reason people actually leave. Migrating your vocabulary If you already have a deck elsewhere, NoaLingua imports CSV and its own JSON profile format, and import adds rather than overwriting — words you already have keep their repetition history. Export is free on every plan in both directions, so trying it costs you nothing but the download. ## Common questions about NoaLingua What remains unverified in this comparison? Trancy’s current English pricing page was readable on the date shown, so platform coverage, tier structure, AI allowances and learning features are now sourced. Monetary fields were dynamically rendered as zero in the readable response, so this page deliberately does not publish a Trancy price. Data location and mobile behaviour remain unverified. Which one works on more video sites? Trancy, on any reasonable reading of how the two are positioned. NoaLingua has dedicated adapters for YouTube and Netflix and a generic one that only works where a site exposes a readable caption track. Does NoaLingua have an AI quota? No, because nothing is hosted behind it. AI explanations use Chrome’s own on-device model when the machine has one, and every other feature works whether or not it does. ## Other comparisons [vs Migaku NoaLingua vs Migaku: a compact tool, or a whole system](https://noalingua.com/compare/noalingua-vs-migaku/)[vs Immersive Translate NoaLingua vs Immersive Translate: study tool or universal translator](https://noalingua.com/compare/noalingua-vs-immersive-translate/)[vs Language Reactor NoaLingua vs Language Reactor: the incumbent, and the local alternative](https://noalingua.com/compare/noalingua-vs-language-reactor/) ## Try NoaLingua on the next video you were going to watch anyway.
