Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Mina Korean at none against Korean Dictionary +'s shown. Mina Korean also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Korean Dictionary +'s advantage is ratings volume (216 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
