Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Encyclopedia at 4.0 against Wiki Plus's 2.3. Encyclopedia also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and review sentiment (50% vs 22%). Wiki Plus's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Encyclopedia holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Encyclopedia has 66 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 22% of Wiki Plus's written reviews are positive against 50% of Encyclopedia's.
Wiki Plus ships an update every 9 months, Encyclopedia fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
