Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TWA Dictionary at 77% against ASL's 30%. TWA Dictionary also leads on ads (none vs shown). ASL's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (753 vs 33). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. ASL sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and TWA Dictionary sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ASL holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASL has 753 ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of ASL's written reviews are positive against 77% of TWA Dictionary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ASL ships an update fortnightly, TWA Dictionary every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
