Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WordWeb Dictionary at none against Dictionary Offline's 3. WordWeb Dictionary also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (90% vs 78%). Dictionary Offline's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 268) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
