Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Words at 4.5 against Multitran's 3.7. Words also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). Multitran's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
