Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Morse Code Translator at none against Morse Code Keys's 3. Morse Code Translator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 11 months). Morse Code Keys's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (176 vs 33). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Morse Code Keys holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Morse Code Keys has 176 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Morse Code Translator's written reviews are positive against 56% of Morse Code Keys's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Morse Code Translator ships an update every 4 months, Morse Code Keys every 11 months. Both last shipped on October 7, 2026.
