Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Russian Dictionary at 5.0 against German's 4.4. Russian Dictionary also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). German's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (125 vs 1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
