Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Translate at none against Image Translator's 1. Translate also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 30%) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 200). Image Translator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Image Translator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Translate asks for nothing beyond the download.
Image Translator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translate has 1.2K ratings behind it against 200, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Image Translator's written reviews are positive against 43% of Translate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Image Translator ships an update every 2 days, Translate every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
