# Translator* vs Translate Anything

The clearest difference is monetization model: Translate Anything at freemium against Translator*'s subscription. Translate Anything also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 2.8K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translator* sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Translate Anything sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Translate Anything holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translate Anything has 15K ratings behind it against 2.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Translator*'s written reviews are positive against 41% of Translate Anything's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Translator* ships an update every 5 months, Translate Anything monthly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
