Hello, Google Translator Toolkit launched over a decade ago to help our users, translators, and the world create and share translations. When we first launched, there were few web-based options for translation editors, but now there are many great tools available, including Google Translate, which will continue to be available and is unaffected by this. As a result, we've seen declining usage for Translator Toolkit over the past few years. So now, after many years and billions of words translated, we're saying goodbye to Translator Toolkit. A warm thank you to our users around the world.

I already use lingohub.com and like it as an alternative, but it is costly since Machine translation is 129$/mo.

Matecat revenue model appears to be offer translation service (each time you open a file to edit it, it creates a quote to translate it for you). You can also install it self-hosted (it is open source). The owner is an Italian translation agency called Translated.
Smartcat revenue model is to become a payment gateway. If you choose to pay your outsourced translations through them, you essentially receive one single invoice from them and they take care of paying your resources. This can be useful if you have very small translation tasks with many people.
So Smartcat offers you a free platform hoping that you choose to do your vendor payments through them. The owner is the Russian software company ABBYY.
