I wanted a quiet, beautiful way to read Wikipedia. That's what Lore is. For many of us, getting lost in Wikipedia is a near-daily hobby. Lore is built to make that easy and pleasant, with beautiful theming and text set in a classic serif font. No edit buttons, banners, or other elements to get in the way of reading and learning.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Lore at every 6 days against WikiFind Dictionary's every 3 months. WikiFind Dictionary's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
