What is the difference between Hands-Free and Press and Hold mode in Cosmo?

Hands-Free mode automatically detects when someone is speaking and translates without any button press, great for natural flowing conversations. Press and Hold requires holding a button to record, giving you precise control over when translation happens. Use Press and Hold in noisy environments where the microphone might pick up background sound.

Can I use Cosmo Translator without creating an account?

Yes. You get 25 free guest credits when you first open the app, with no account and no credit card required. You will need a Cosmo account to purchase credit packs or start a subscription.

Can I stack credit packs with a Cosmo subscription?

Yes. Credit packs are completely separate from subscriptions and can be added to any plan. Subscription credits are consumed first, then pack credits are your reserve. You can only hold one active subscription at a time.

How credits work

Cosmo separates guest trial credits, subscription credits, and pack credits so usage is always transparent. Subscription credits are used first, then pack credits - your guest trial balance stays separate. You can have one active subscription at a time; pack credits stack on top.

★★★★★

"Used Cosmo in Japan for a whole week. Hands-free mode worked perfectly in restaurants - just set the phone on the table and both of us could talk naturally. Genuinely incredible."

James M.

Traveler, Tokyo trip

★★★★★

"I work with suppliers in China and this has completely changed how I run meetings. Press & Hold is great for noisy conference rooms - precise, clean, no background noise."

Sarah R.

Import/export business

★★★★★

"The credit system is exactly right. I travel a few times a year and don't want a subscription - just grab a pack before each trip. Simple, affordable, and it always works."

How Cosmo compares

Built for conversations,
not quick lookups.

General-purpose translation tools do a lot of things. Cosmo does one thing well: live, two-way spoken conversations between two people.

Feature	Cosmo	Google Translate	Other Translator Apps
Two-way live voice translation	Yes, purpose-built	Basic, manual taps	Varies by app
Automatic voice detection (no tapping)	Yes (Hands-Free Mode)	No	Rarely
Noise sensitivity and interruption control	Yes (Press & Hold + Hands-Free)	No	Limited
Interruptions Mode (listens while audio plays)	Yes	No	Rarely
Live bilingual conversation log	Yes, scrollable	No	Some
Pricing model	Free trial, pay-per-use packs, or subscription	Fully free	Subscription or upfront paywall
Offline use	No (requires internet)	Yes (select languages)	Some (often paywalled)
Platforms	iOS & Android	iOS, Android, Web	iOS & Android

Google Translate is great for text, photos, and quick phrase lookups. Most other apps lock core features behind a subscription. Cosmo is built for live spoken conversations and lets you pay only for what you actually use.

No. Cosmo requires an internet connection to translate. It uses cloud-based AI models to deliver accurate, real-time translations, which is what makes the quality reliable. A Wi-Fi or mobile data connection is needed during each conversation session.

Credits are consumed when you translate. Cosmo has three separate buckets: guest trial credits (free, one-time), subscription credits (refresh on renewal), and pack credits (one-time purchase). Subscription credits are used first, then pack credits. Guest trial credits are separate from your paid balance and cannot be replenished.

Cosmo uses advanced AI models to deliver fast, accurate, and natural-sounding translations in real time. Unlike basic translation apps, every conversation is processed through these models which require computing power to run, and that has a cost. Credits are how we keep the service running while making sure you only pay for what you actually use. You can start for free with 20 guest credits, no account needed.
