# 彩云小译 vs Immersive Translate

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 彩云小译 at 88% against Immersive Translate's 71%. 彩云小译 also leads on ratings volume (2.6K vs 561). Immersive Translate's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 彩云小译 sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Immersive Translate sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Immersive Translate holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.6K and 561 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of 彩云小译's written reviews are positive against 71% of Immersive Translate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

彩云小译 ships an update every 2 weeks, Immersive Translate fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
