Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Developer Toolbox at Free against Cicero's $2.99. Developer Toolbox also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Cicero's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
