Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: QHanja at 5.0 against 다음 사전 / Daum Dic's 3.3. QHanja also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). 다음 사전 / Daum Dic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QHanja sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. 다음 사전 / Daum Dic asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QHanja holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 다음 사전 / Daum Dic has 55 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of 다음 사전 / Daum Dic's written reviews are positive against 46% of QHanja's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

다음 사전 / Daum Dic ships an update every 2 months, QHanja every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
