# Translator+ Plus vs Translator

The clearest difference is monetization model: Translator at free with in-app purchases against Translator+ Plus's subscription. Translator also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 96). Translator+ Plus's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translator+ Plus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Translator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Translator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translator has 1.5K ratings behind it against 96, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of Translator+ Plus's written reviews are positive against 56% of Translator's.

Translator+ Plus ships an update every 2 months, Translator every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
