Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: German Dictionary at none against German Dictionary & Thesaurus's shown. German Dictionary also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 15 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). German Dictionary & Thesaurus's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 50%) and ratings volume (443 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. German Dictionary & Thesaurus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and German Dictionary sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
German Dictionary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: German Dictionary & Thesaurus has 443 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of German Dictionary & Thesaurus's written reviews are positive against 50% of German Dictionary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
German Dictionary & Thesaurus ships an update every 15 months, German Dictionary every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
