Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iFarsi at none against Smart Persian Dictionary's 5. iFarsi also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17). Smart Persian Dictionary's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 18 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
