Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Curiosity at none against English Dictionary's shown. Curiosity also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). English Dictionary's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
