Frontitude vs. Ditto
FAQ
Both tools keep product copy in one shared library and connect to Figma. Frontitude is built around your designs: writers, designers, and translators work on every text in context, with AI, translation, and developer handoff built in. Ditto is built around a structured content system, with a strong focus on developer tooling.
Frontitude was built for multilingual products. AI translation, translation memory, concordance search, a focused translator workspace, and translation previews in Figma all live in one place, so teams translate in context and keep wording consistent across languages. Ditto has added AI translation, but it has no translation memory or dedicated translator workspace.
Frontitude’s pricing is public and self-serve. You can start on the free Starter plan and upgrade when you’re ready, with paid plans from $160/month (billed yearly) that include 5 editor seats and viewer seats. Ditto doesn’t publish its prices: after a 2-week trial, every plan goes through a sales quote.
Yes. Frontitude’s MCP server is free on every plan and connects Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients to your approved copy, so agents write with the same wording your team uses and can update it for you. Ditto also offers an MCP server.
Frontitude works with the files your code already uses. The CLI syncs JSON (flat or nested, ready for i18next), XLIFF, Android XML, and Apple .strings, with configurable variable and plural formats, and webhooks notify your systems when content changes. Both come with the Developer Pack add-on.
Frontitude takes a simpler approach: each component has one approved source text, with its plurals, variables, and translations attached, so there is always one clear version to use. If you need several versions of the same text for different products or audiences, Ditto’s content variants cover that.
Yes. Export your strings from Ditto and import them into Frontitude as a JSON or CSV file, or push your existing string files from the codebase with the Frontitude CLI. You can try it on the free plan, or book a demo and we’ll help you plan the move.
