Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Translation at every 5 weeks against 拍照翻译's every 7 months. Translation also leads on ratings volume (19 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.2). 拍照翻译's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
