Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Microsoft Translator at none against Voice Translate's 3. Microsoft Translator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (158K vs 132). Voice Translate's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 44%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Microsoft Translator holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Translator has 158K ratings behind it against 132, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Voice Translate's written reviews are positive against 44% of Microsoft Translator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Voice Translate ships an update every 2 months, Microsoft Translator every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
