Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Tamil. at none against Tamil Dictionary +'s shown. Tamil. also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 17.6). Tamil Dictionary +'s advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (272 vs 22). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tamil Dictionary + sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Tamil. sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tamil Dictionary + holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tamil Dictionary + has 272 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Tamil Dictionary +'s written reviews are positive against 91% of Tamil.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tamil Dictionary + ships an update every 2 months, Tamil. every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
