Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Megawords at none against English Dictionary's 10. Megawords also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 16.0). English Dictionary's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
