# TypeOn vs Translator

The clearest difference is ratings volume: TypeOn at 2.8K against Translator's 52. On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TypeOn sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Translator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 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 — 4.6 for TypeOn against 4.6 for Translator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TypeOn has 2.8K ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
