Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Translay at free against Screenink's free with in-app purchases. Screenink's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.0 for Screenink against 3.0 for Translay. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screenink has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 62% of Screenink's written reviews are positive against 67% of Translay's.
