# English vs Multitran

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.

Both are free to download. English sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Multitran asks for nothing beyond the download.

English holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: English has 73 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of English's written reviews are positive against 43% of Multitran's.

English ships an update every 2 weeks, Multitran every 17 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
