Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hint academy at none against Minimal Dictionary's 1. Hint academy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.1). Minimal Dictionary's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
