# Translator vs Bolo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bolo at 100% against Translator's 56%. Bolo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). Translator's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Bolo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bolo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translator has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Translator's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bolo's.
