Verdict
The clearest difference is price: WordReference Dictionary at Free against Spanish's $3.99. WordReference Dictionary also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 25%) and rating (3.8 vs 3.3). Spanish's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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
WordReference Dictionary is free to download; Spanish costs $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WordReference Dictionary holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordReference Dictionary has 35 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of Spanish's written reviews are positive against 60% of WordReference Dictionary's.
Spanish ships an update every 2 months, WordReference Dictionary monthly. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
