Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Persian Etymology Dictionary at 100% against Google Translate's 41%. Persian Etymology Dictionary also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). Google Translate's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and update cadence (weekly vs every 41 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
