# i2Reader Cloud vs Translation Books

The clearest difference is rating: Translation Books at 5.0 against i2Reader Cloud's 4.1. Translation Books also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). i2Reader Cloud's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 29%) and ratings volume (74 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. i2Reader Cloud sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Translation Books sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Translation Books holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: i2Reader Cloud has 74 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of i2Reader Cloud's written reviews are positive against 29% of Translation Books's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

i2Reader Cloud ships an update every 3 months, Translation Books fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
