Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DK Illustrated Dictionary at 75% against Lingopie's 38%. DK Illustrated Dictionary also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). Lingopie's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 7). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Lingopie sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. DK Illustrated Dictionary asks for nothing beyond the download.
Lingopie holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lingopie has 2.2K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Lingopie's written reviews are positive against 75% of DK Illustrated Dictionary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lingopie ships an update fortnightly, DK Illustrated Dictionary every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
