# Translate vs Cereal Translator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cereal Translator at 85% against Translate's 36%. Cereal Translator also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Translate's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 421) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translate sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Cereal Translator sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cereal Translator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translate has 2.9K ratings behind it against 421, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Translate's written reviews are positive against 85% of Cereal Translator's.
