# The Eclipse App vs Voice Translator

The clearest difference is rating: Voice Translator at 5.0 against The Eclipse App's 4.0. Voice Translator also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). The Eclipse App's advantage is ratings volume (100 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Eclipse App sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Voice Translator sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Voice Translator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Eclipse App has 100 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

The Eclipse App ships an update weekly, Voice Translator every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
