It sounds simple: a keyboard for Japanese texts with a built-in dictionary. And it is free! Just type an English word and Japanese Keyboard will show you possible Japanese texts. Then choose one, all on the keyboard, available everywhere, without switching to an app and without copy/paste. And: You can also look up Kanjis or just write Hiragana and Katakana. But be aware: Japanese Keyboard is not a fancy AI translator, it cannot translate whole sentences, only single words. It is very simple, offline - just an old-fashioned dictionary!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MM at 3.6 against Japanese Keyboard's 3.0. MM also leads on update cadence (every 22 months vs every 53 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). Japanese Keyboard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
