Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dice Linked at none against Glyphs's 1. Dice Linked also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Glyphs's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
