Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: UDictionary Translator at fortnightly against German Dictionary's every 4 months. UDictionary Translator also leads on ratings volume (9.3K vs 234) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.6). German Dictionary's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 59%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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
Both are free to download. German Dictionary sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and UDictionary Translator sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. 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 German Dictionary against 4.6 for UDictionary Translator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UDictionary Translator has 9.3K ratings behind it against 234, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of German Dictionary's written reviews are positive against 59% of UDictionary Translator's.
German Dictionary ships an update every 4 months, UDictionary Translator fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
