Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Huh? Dictionary at 100% against Google Translate's 41%. Huh? Dictionary also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3). Google Translate's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
