Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Translay at 5.0 against iTranscreen's 4.4. iTranscreen's advantage is ratings volume (253 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iTranscreen sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Translay sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Translay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTranscreen has 253 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
iTranscreen ships an update fortnightly, Translay every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
