Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Translator* at 4.4 against iTranslate Keyboard's 3.2. Translator* also leads on review sentiment (49% vs 25%) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 104). iTranslate Keyboard's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
