Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BBnotes at 4.4 against iTourTranslator's 4.0. BBnotes also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 77%). iTourTranslator's advantage is ratings volume (271 vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iTourTranslator sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and BBnotes sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BBnotes holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTourTranslator has 271 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of iTourTranslator's written reviews are positive against 100% of BBnotes's.
iTourTranslator ships an update every 3 weeks, BBnotes every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
