Hextom AI Translate & Currency

Be very careful before using this app for free or paid plan (No Matter what)

I upgraded my plan because I urgently needed more translation capacity. After paying, I found out that the new plan's credits would not be available until the next billing cycle. This was not clearly communicated before the purchase.

Support did not provide a practical solution. They simply told me to buy even more credits or wait until next month, even though I had already paid for a new subscription.

This is a very poor customer experience. I use Hextom across multiple Shopify stores, and unless this issue is resolved, I will be moving to another translation app. I cannot recommend this app based on my experience.

Absolutly don't take this app !!! I do translate (with IA) the website, everything where good, until they (WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION) rolled back completly the URL translation.

Our website is currently under 404 for all our market, and they absolutly don't care. We are currently taking legal action.

You buy credit and they will make them disappear and play dump for you to buy again , if you count what you pay for you will see the scam in this app

Pay for a plan and then not have the monthly limit until 1.5 month later , so you pay 1.5 -2 months worth of limits to get half what you pay for

Daily it will disconnect from the Website, keep sending to another URLs language, app plugin itself will stop working and shows error or not loading at all .. disaster that causing me to lose sales daily

In contact with Shopify to officially report the app , highly questionable

Unfortunately, our experience with Hextom has been very disappointing for the following reasons:

1. Support System: In 2025, every serious SaaS uses a proper helpdesk with ticket numbers, categories, and agent assignment/shift handover. Hextom still does not — issues get lost or repeated endlessly, and we only hear “on the roadmap.” This is something that can be set up in one day.

2. Selector Issues: We have explained the selector problem multiple times, but it is still not solved. The mobile and desktop selector must be responsive and properly integrated into the header. Instead, it sits in the menu, breaking layouts and causing major UX problems.

3. Translation & URLs: Autopilot/AI translation breaks URLs by automatically translating them. Even if we fix manually, the system overwrites again. There is no “exclude” checkbox to lock values, which is a very basic feature.

4. Translation Styles: We were told translation style implementation exists, but no clear documentation or options are provided. For e-commerce, we need to choose between styles like “direct,” “title,” or “detailed.”

5. Inconsistent Languages: On live sessions (via heatmaps & recordings), some parts remain in English while others show Spanish or other languages incorrectly. This happens even after translations are applied. We confirmed this from real IPs, not just /es URLs.

6. Redirection Logic: The system only checks browser language, not IP. As a result, a customer in France using Chrome in English is shown the wrong version, causing serious localization and conversion issues.

Support is not existent and the actual service is poor! It took me a lot of time to translate our gempages landing pages only to find out that they are actually NOT translated. They visual translation app actually replaces the words from English to the other language in real time every time which caused HUGE delays in loading the page and customer is not seeing his native language. Instead he needs to wait around 20 seconds his page to be translated... Ridiculous

Tried to solve that with the support, but all they did was to say "this is how our app works" and stopped answering to my email. I tried to reach them 2 times for the last 2 days - no answer at all.

Do not bother. There is a lot of other BETTER apps

Update: Moved to T Lab Translator, they actually have the necessary functionality and RESPONSD to my inquiry

I was disappointed with the support I received. They didn’t assist me in installing the selector on the mobile version of the menu, and they didn’t even send a collaborator request to help with the widget installation. Unfortunately, I think it's time to explore other app options.

We’ve been long-time users of several Hextom apps and have always appreciated the quality and reliability they bring to our business. Unfortunately, our experience with the Hextom: Translate and Currency app has been quite disappointing. On our larger site, the app has consistently failed to function as expected, and despite months of back-and-forth with the support and development teams, the issues remain unresolved.

Given the high standard we’ve come to expect from Hextom, it was surprising and frustrating to encounter such challenges with this particular app. We hope that the team can address these problems soon, as we would love to see this app live up to the standards of the other Hextom products we rely on.

The RIDICULOUS translation quality of this app ruined our entire website and credibility and really damaged our brand. We are considering further legal steps against these amateurs!

This app is not ready for prime time, its full of bugs and the visual translator really screws things up and seems to over ride the shopify translate and adapt and makes a total mess. Hard to get support also. The AI translation quality is pretty good though, but once that is complete I cant see value. Also they keep charging you $9.99/month even if you cancel and come back in the same 30 days. This makes no sense.

It translated our URL slugs even though we don't want to, there's no option to deselect URL slugs, which caused a big mess and a lot of broken links that we needed to search for and fix manually.
Their support is an absolute disappointment, we are trying to reach them for a week and all we get is a bot saying "will connect you to an agent"but that agent never appears.
