Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Microsoft Translator at 4.8 against Arabic Muslim Keyboard's 4.1. Microsoft Translator also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (158K vs 14). Arabic Muslim Keyboard's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 44%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Microsoft Translator holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Translator has 158K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Arabic Muslim Keyboard'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.
Arabic Muslim Keyboard ships an update every 11 months, Microsoft Translator every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
