# Keyboard Translator Simple vs iTranslate Keyboard

The clearest difference is rating: iTranslate Keyboard at 3.2 against Keyboard Translator Simple's 2.7. iTranslate Keyboard also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). Keyboard Translator Simple's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (33% vs 24%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iTranslate Keyboard sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Keyboard Translator Simple asks for nothing beyond the download.

iTranslate Keyboard holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTranslate Keyboard has 106 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 24% of iTranslate Keyboard'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, iTranslate Keyboard every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
