Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NetGuard at none against DictText's 1. NetGuard also leads on ads (none vs shown). DictText's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
