# Translator vs Translate・Language Translator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Translate・Language Translator at 67% against Translator's 40%. Translator's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 160). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translator sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Translate・Language Translator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Translator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translator has 2.4K ratings behind it against 160, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Translator's written reviews are positive against 67% of Translate・Language Translator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Translator ships an update every 4 weeks, Translate・Language Translator every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
