A go-to reference among French dictionaries: the TLFi. All you need is an internet connection to look up a word's definition, etymology, synonyms, antonyms, and morphology, or a verb's conjugation. The Trésor de la langue française informatisé (TLFi) is the digitized version of a sixteen-volume dictionary, with 270,000 definitions and 430,000 examples drawn from French literature. It's a resource as valuable to students and translators as to anyone simply curious about words. The TLFi also integrates with your system: look up a word with Spotlight, or check its definition from any app by selecting it and tapping "Share…". Add a Home Screen widget that shows your favorites or recently looked-up words, and touch and hold the app icon to start a search or jump straight to your favorites and history.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Gaffiot at Free against Dictionnaire's $1.99. Gaffiot also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). Dictionnaire's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 11 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
