Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 粤语学习 at none against Cantonese Dictionary's shown. 粤语学习 also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 56%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Cantonese Dictionary's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ratings volume, 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.
Cantonese Dictionary holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 36 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Cantonese Dictionary's written reviews are positive against 78% of 粤语学习's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cantonese Dictionary ships an update every 2 months, 粤语学习 every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
