Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 英和辞典 at none against Weblio英語辞書's 1. 英和辞典 also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 42%). Weblio英語辞書's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weblio英語辞書 sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.49 per month. 英和辞典 asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Weblio英語辞書 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 174 and 46 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Weblio英語辞書's written reviews are positive against 75% of 英和辞典's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Weblio英語辞書 ships an update every 3 weeks, 英和辞典 every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
