# 有道翻译官 vs CDR

The clearest difference is monetization model: 有道翻译官 at free with in-app purchases against CDR's subscription. 有道翻译官 also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 1). CDR's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 有道翻译官 sells 26 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and CDR sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CDR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 有道翻译官 has 1.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of 有道翻译官's written reviews are positive against 50% of CDR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

有道翻译官 ships an update every 11 days, CDR every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 25, 2026 respectively.
