Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Leka Translate at every 2 days against Dreaming's every 9 days. Leka Translate also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). Dreaming's advantage is ratings volume (208 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
