# Transly vs Live Subtitles

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Live Subtitles at none against Transly's 10. Live Subtitles also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Transly's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (129 vs 1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Transly sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Live Subtitles asks for nothing beyond the download.

Live Subtitles holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transly has 129 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
