# TransQuick vs InstantTranslator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: InstantTranslator at 42% against TransQuick's 0%. InstantTranslator also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (5K vs 26). TransQuick's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
