Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: KNU 도서관 at none against NAVER Dictionary's shown. KNU 도서관 also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). NAVER Dictionary's advantage is review sentiment (36% vs 8%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
