# Language Translator vs Siko Translator

The clearest difference is rating: Siko Translator at 3.7 against Language Translator's 2.6. Siko Translator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 13 months). Language Translator's advantage is review sentiment (47% vs 6%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Siko Translator sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $12.99 per 7 days. Language Translator asks for nothing beyond the download.

Siko Translator holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Siko Translator has 92 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Language Translator's written reviews are positive against 6% of Siko Translator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Language Translator ships an update every 13 months, Siko Translator every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on August 26, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
