Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NAVER Dictionary at 3.2 against ON국민's 2.1. NAVER Dictionary also leads on review sentiment (36% vs 4%) and ratings volume (251 vs 9). ON국민's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
