# Translator Keyboard vs PDF Reader

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PDF Reader at none against Translator Keyboard's 14. PDF Reader also leads on chart position (#35 vs #131) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Translator Keyboard's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (21K vs 3.3K). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translator Keyboard sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. PDF Reader asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Translator Keyboard against 4.8 for PDF Reader. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translator Keyboard has 21K ratings behind it against 3.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Translator Keyboard's written reviews are positive against 61% of PDF Reader's.

Translator Keyboard ships an update fortnightly, PDF Reader weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
