Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Offline Translator at none against German Dictionary's 1. Offline Translator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). German Dictionary's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 70%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
