Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Keyboard Translator at 4.2 against Keyboard Translator Simple's 2.7. Keyboard Translator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months). Keyboard Translator Simple's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 17%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Keyboard Translator holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Keyboard Translator has 414 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Keyboard Translator Simple's written reviews are positive against 17% of Keyboard Translator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Keyboard Translator Simple ships an update every 6 months, Keyboard Translator every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
