Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Korean, at none against Korean Dictionary +'s shown. Korean, also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 17.6). Korean Dictionary +'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (216 vs 19). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Korean Dictionary + sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Korean, 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

Korean Dictionary + holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Korean Dictionary + has 216 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Korean Dictionary +'s written reviews are positive against 83% of Korean,'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Korean Dictionary + ships an update every 2 months, Korean, every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
