# Translator » vs Translator Pro

The clearest difference is ads: Translator Pro at none against Translator »'s shown. Translator Pro also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Translator »'s advantage is ratings volume (8.9K vs 6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translator » sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Translator Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Translator Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translator » has 8.9K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Translator » ships an update every 5 months, Translator Pro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
