# Translator vs GatePad

The clearest difference is rating: GatePad at 5.0 against Translator's 4.4. GatePad also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Translator's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (19 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Translator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and GatePad sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GatePad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Translator has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Translator ships an update every 8 days, GatePad every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
