Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? Well, jump on the Ancient Earth time machine app and travel back to a time before the age of dinosaurs, before the evolution of flowering plants, before the last great Ice Age, and well before the appearance of the first humans on Earth. Ancient Earth: Breakup of Pangea vividly illustrates the breakup of the supercontinent of Pangea during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic (200 Ma-0 Ma). Watch as continents drift apart, mountain ranges rise and fall, new ocean basins open, landmasses are flooded by rising sea level, and polar ice caps wax and wane.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: LiveCode Dictionary at Free against Ancient Earth's $2.99. LiveCode Dictionary also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). Ancient Earth's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 1.6) and review sentiment (52% vs 13%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
