Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Google Translate at 4.3 against MM's 3.6. Google Translate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 22 months). MM's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (50% vs 41%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Google Translate holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Translate has 84K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Google Translate's written reviews are positive against 50% of MM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Google Translate ships an update weekly, MM every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
