# EZ Screen Translator vs Translate

The clearest difference is ads: Translate at none against EZ Screen Translator's shown. Translate also leads on review sentiment (42% vs 19%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). EZ Screen Translator's advantage is ratings volume (795 vs 11). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EZ Screen Translator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Translate sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for EZ Screen Translator against 4.5 for Translate. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EZ Screen Translator has 795 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 19% of EZ Screen Translator's written reviews are positive against 42% of Translate's.

EZ Screen Translator ships an update every 10 days, Translate every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
