# Translator vs Briefday

The clearest difference is ads: Briefday at none against Translator's shown. Translator's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (593 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translator sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Briefday sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Translator holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translator has 593 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Translator ships an update every 11 days, Briefday fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
