# Currency vs iTranslate Converse

The clearest difference is rating: Currency at 4.8 against iTranslate Converse's 4.3. Currency also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 47%) and ratings volume (79K vs 5.3K). iTranslate Converse's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Currency sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and iTranslate Converse sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Currency holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Currency has 79K ratings behind it against 5.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Currency's written reviews are positive against 47% of iTranslate Converse's.
