In their own words
Altagonist
Altagonist is a WordPress plugin that creates image alt text using image metadata and page content. It can process hundreds of images at once and supports 70 languages. Its three quality levels draw on different amounts of context: Lite uses image metadata, Medium also uses page excerpts, and High uses full page content. Each image costs one, two, or three credits respectively. You can turn on automatic generation for uploaded images, choose a default language and quality level, and edit generated tags in the WordPress media library. JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP work natively; SVG, AVIF, TIFF, and BMP are converted automatically. The documentation says images are processed in real time and immediately discarded rather than stored. All plans support multiple WordPress sites, with credits shared among sites on the same license key. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 50 monthly credits. Personal, Pro, and Agency are listed as Coming Soon at €5 a month, €12 a month, and €29 a month, respectively. Unused credits do not roll over.
