Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DILSE at 5.0 against WordReference Dictionary's 3.8. DILSE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). WordReference Dictionary's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 20%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DILSE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordReference Dictionary has 32 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of WordReference Dictionary's written reviews are positive against 20% of DILSE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WordReference Dictionary ships an update monthly, DILSE every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
