# Keyboard Translator Simple vs Keyboard Translator

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.

Both are free to download. Keyboard Translator Simple sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per year and Keyboard Translator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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.
