Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: English at 4.5 against Multitran's 3.7. English also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 17 months) and review sentiment (71% vs 43%). Multitran's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
