# Screenink vs Translay

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.

Both are free to download. Screenink sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Translay sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.
