# Google Translate vs Bangla Dictionary +

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bangla Dictionary + at 86% against Google Translate's 41%. Bangla Dictionary + also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). Google Translate's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.8) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bangla Dictionary + sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Google Translate asks for nothing beyond the download.

Google Translate holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Translate has 84K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Google Translate's written reviews are positive against 86% of Bangla Dictionary +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Google Translate ships an update weekly, Bangla Dictionary + every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
