Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Documents Translator at 4.7 against The Interpreter's 4.2. Documents Translator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). The Interpreter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (84% vs 54%). On price, ratings volume, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Documents Translator sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. The Interpreter asks for nothing beyond the download.
Documents Translator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 56 and 77 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of The Interpreter's written reviews are positive against 54% of Documents Translator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Interpreter ships an update every 2 months, Documents Translator every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
