# Translator vs LanStudio VPN

Translator and LanStudio VPN both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 27% of LanStudio VPN's written reviews are positive against 9% of Translator's. LanStudio VPN also leads on ratings volume (103 vs 9). Translator's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, 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 LanStudio VPN sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Translator against 4.4 for LanStudio VPN. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LanStudio VPN has 103 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 9% of Translator's written reviews are positive against 27% of LanStudio VPN's.

Translator ships an update fortnightly, LanStudio VPN every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
