Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Google Translate at 4.3 against Voice Translator's 2.0. Google Translate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (84K vs 7). Voice Translator's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
