# Translator Pro vs CST Pulse

The clearest difference is update cadence: CST Pulse at every 2 days against Translator Pro's every 3 weeks. Translator Pro's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translator Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and CST Pulse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 — 5.0 for Translator Pro against 5.0 for CST Pulse. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translator Pro has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Translator Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, CST Pulse every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
