Verdict
The clearest difference is price: LDOCE at $24.99 against ジーニアス英和・和英辞典(第5版/第3版)'s $34.99. LDOCE also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 11 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.4). ジーニアス英和・和英辞典(第5版/第3版)'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
