Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bzan at 5.0 against Kagi Translate's 4.2. Bzan also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Kagi Translate's advantage is ratings volume (56 vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
