Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WIS at 4.5 against Cam Translate's 1.8. WIS also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (54% vs 33%). Cam Translate's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cam Translate sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and WIS sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WIS holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WIS has 277 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Cam Translate's written reviews are positive against 54% of WIS's.
Cam Translate ships an update every 3 months, WIS every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
