Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 吉真万年历 at 4.9 against 说文解字's 1.0. 吉真万年历 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (40 vs 1). 说文解字's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
