# Spanish Dictionary + vs English Dictionary/Translator

The clearest difference is ads: English Dictionary/Translator at none against Spanish Dictionary +'s shown. English Dictionary/Translator also leads on review sentiment (97% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.6). Spanish Dictionary +'s advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 39). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spanish Dictionary + sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and English Dictionary/Translator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Spanish Dictionary + against 4.8 for English Dictionary/Translator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spanish Dictionary + has 1.9K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Spanish Dictionary +'s written reviews are positive against 97% of English Dictionary/Translator's.

Spanish Dictionary + ships an update every 2 months, English Dictionary/Translator every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
