Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WordWeb Dictionary at none against Power Thesaurus's 2. WordWeb Dictionary also leads on ads (none vs shown). Power Thesaurus's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Power Thesaurus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. WordWeb Dictionary asks for nothing beyond the download.
Power Thesaurus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Power Thesaurus has 3K ratings behind it against 268, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of WordWeb Dictionary's written reviews are positive against 86% of Power Thesaurus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WordWeb Dictionary ships an update every 5 months, Power Thesaurus monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
