Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Der Die Das at 85% against Duden's 6%. Der Die Das also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 11). Duden's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
