# Translator » vs Go Translate

The clearest difference is ads: Go Translate at none against Translator »'s shown. Go Translate also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). Translator »'s advantage is ratings volume (8.9K vs 1.4K) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translator » sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Go Translate sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Translator » against 4.5 for Go Translate. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translator » has 8.9K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Translator »'s written reviews are positive against 60% of Go Translate's.

Translator » ships an update every 5 months, Go Translate every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
