# Tureng Dictionary vs Dictionary Offline

Tureng Dictionary and Dictionary Offline both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of Dictionary Offline's written reviews are positive against 31% of Tureng Dictionary's. Dictionary Offline also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 33). Tureng Dictionary's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tureng Dictionary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Dictionary Offline sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Tureng Dictionary against 4.6 for Dictionary Offline. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dictionary Offline has 12K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 31% of Tureng Dictionary's written reviews are positive against 78% of Dictionary Offline's.

Tureng Dictionary ships an update every 2 weeks, Dictionary Offline every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
