【QuickTranslate】 brings text, voice, camera, web, and AI-assisted translation together in one place. Use it for everyday conversations, reading, travel, study, and multilingual writing. **Everyday Translation** Translate typed or pasted text, speak face to face with two-way voice translation, or point the camera at menus, signs, and documents. Playback, copying, sharing, history, and favorites keep useful results close at hand. **AI Language Tools** Ask questions, translate passages, polish wording for different situations, or check currency conversions in a conversational workspace.

These tools help reduce switching between apps. **Live Captions** Turn audio from videos, streams, and other apps into translated captions using screen audio recognition.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: QuickTranslate at 5.0 against Shadowrocket's 4.0. QuickTranslate also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Shadowrocket's advantage is ratings volume (156 vs 1) and review sentiment (70% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shadowrocket sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and QuickTranslate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QuickTranslate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shadowrocket has 156 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Shadowrocket's written reviews are positive against 50% of QuickTranslate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shadowrocket ships an update every 2 months, QuickTranslate every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
