# iTranscreen vs Screen Translate

The clearest difference is rating: iTranscreen at 4.4 against Screen Translate's 3.8. iTranscreen also leads on ratings volume (224 vs 12) and review sentiment (75% vs 60%). Screen Translate's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iTranscreen sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Screen Translate sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iTranscreen holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTranscreen has 224 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of iTranscreen's written reviews are positive against 60% of Screen Translate's.

iTranscreen ships an update fortnightly, Screen Translate every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
