# The Dothraki Translator vs D&D Beyond

The clearest difference is rating: D&D Beyond at 4.7 against The Dothraki Translator's 3.8. D&D Beyond also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (93K vs 10). The Dothraki Translator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. D&D Beyond sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. The Dothraki Translator asks for nothing beyond the download.

D&D Beyond holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: D&D Beyond has 93K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of The Dothraki Translator's written reviews are positive against 54% of D&D Beyond's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Dothraki Translator ships an update every 15 months, D&D Beyond every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
