Verba is the i18n platform for teams shipping multilingual products. The Community Edition is open source and ready to self-host today. The managed Cloud is in public beta and free while we shake out the rough edges.
The problem
Spreadsheets, scattered JSON files, Slack threads, copy-paste errors. Translation workflows break down as teams scale. Verba gives you one place for all your i18n resources, with the tools to keep product, developers, and translators in sync.
Why Verba
All your translation keys, namespaces, and locales in a single versioned workspace. No more hunting for the latest file.
Translators, developers, and product managers work in the same interface, at the same time, with role-based access and inline comments.
JSON, YAML, PO. CLI for syncing keys from your codebase. REST API. Webhooks. Verba fits into your build pipeline, not the other way around.
A visual review queue per locale. Drag keys from Needs translation to In review to Approved. Bulk approve, bulk reject, ship with confidence.
Drop in JSON, YAML, or PO. Smart key merging, conflict detection, no duplicates. Get clean output back, filtered by status, in any format your codebase needs.
Every change is logged. See who edited what, when, and why. Roll back. Compare. Audit your translation history without leaving the tool.
Collaboration
Verba eliminates the back-and-forth. Developers push new keys. Translators get notified. Reviewers approve. Everyone stays in sync without Slack threads, email chains, or spreadsheets.
Developers push new keys
Import from your codebase, the CLI, or add keys manually.
Translators fill in content
Collaborate in real-time, with context and inline comments.
Reviewers approve
Visual review queue keeps quality high before release.
Export clean output
Ready for your build pipeline, in any format you need.
Pricing during public beta
Verba is open core: the engine is the same in every tier. Cloud is free for everyone during the public beta. The indicative price for general availability is shown so you know what to expect, and we will give at least 30 days notice before any billing begins.
For developers and small teams running their own infrastructure. Stable and ready today.
Managed Verba you can use today without a credit card, while we polish the rough edges. Expect occasional rough patches and tell us where they hurt.
For organizations that need SSO, audit, dedicated infrastructure, and security review. Beta customers can lock in launch pricing.
We will publish final Cloud pricing and a clear migration date before the public beta ends. You can export your data at any time, and self-host the same project under AGPL if you prefer to stay on Community.
How it's licensed
Verba's Community Edition is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0: free, self-hostable, and fully featured for individuals and teams running their own infrastructure. The Verba Enterprise Edition is proprietary software owned by Nubisco, LDA, and the managed Cloud and Enterprise editions add team-scale features, SSO, audit, and zero-ops convenience that fund continued development. Both editions share the same engine, the same file formats, and the same APIs, so you can move data between them at any time. See the LICENSE and NOTICE.md files in the Verba repository for the authoritative terms.
FAQ
It means the managed Cloud is open for anyone to use, free, while we finish hardening it. The features you see today are real and working, but you may hit rough edges. There is no SLA during beta and support is best-effort. We are looking for feedback from real teams, not perfection.
Not until we end the public beta and announce general availability. Indicative GA pricing is $19 per user per month billed annually, but we will give every beta account at least 30 days notice with the final number before any billing begins. If you do not want to convert, you can export your data and switch to self-hosting the Community Edition.
The Community Edition is the open-source, self-hosted Verba, licensed under AGPL-3.0. It's free and fully functional for translation management. You run it on your own infrastructure and own your data end-to-end. It is the same engine that powers Cloud.
Cloud data is hosted in the EU, backed up daily, and isolated per account. We do not run experiments against production data and we do not train AI models on your translations. If something does go wrong we will tell you directly and quickly.
Verba Cloud uses your free Nubisco account, the same single sign-in we use across our hosted products. After you are invited from the beta waitlist, you sign in with an email-based code, no password to manage. Self-hosted Community deployments can use local accounts instead, or optionally plug into the same Nubisco sign-in if you prefer.
Verba Cloud uses PostHog to measure in-product usage so we can prioritise the right features during the beta. The in-product privacy notice lists exactly what is collected and how to opt out. The marketing site at verba.nubisco.io and the documentation site use Nubisco Analytics, which is cookieless and DNT-aware.
AGPL means anyone can self-host Verba, but companies that build a competing SaaS on top of our work have to contribute their changes back. It protects the project from being strip-mined while keeping it genuinely free for the people we built it for.
Yes. Both editions share the same data model and file formats. We provide migration tooling in both directions, so adopting Verba never traps you.
Cloud data is hosted in the EU by default. Enterprise customers can negotiate dedicated or in-region infrastructure.
Yes. Reach out and we'll sort out something fair, especially during the beta.
Self-host the Community Edition under AGPL, or try the managed Cloud free during public beta. No card, no commitment.
