Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WillPower Books at 4.9 against Shan Dictionary's 2.5. WillPower Books also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). Shan Dictionary's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
