# Translator vs iTourBuds

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iTourBuds at 100% against Translator's 10%. iTourBuds also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3). Translator's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and iTourBuds sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iTourBuds holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translator has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 10% of Translator's written reviews are positive against 100% of iTourBuds's.

Translator ships an update fortnightly, iTourBuds every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
