Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MHGlossary at 5.0 against MH World Database's 4.0. MH World Database's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MHGlossary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MH World Database has 25 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
