# Translator Keyboard vs Translate

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Translator Keyboard at 21K against Translate's 11. Translator Keyboard also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 42%) and chart position (#134 vs unranked). Translate's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translator Keyboard sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Translate sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Translator Keyboard against 4.5 for Translate. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translator Keyboard has 21K ratings behind it against 11, 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 42% of Translate's.

Translator Keyboard ships an update every 3 weeks, Translate every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
