Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 英漢字典 EC Dictionary at 5.0 against Erudite Dictionary Translator's 4.6. Erudite Dictionary Translator's advantage is ratings volume (172 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

英漢字典 EC Dictionary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Erudite Dictionary Translator has 172 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of 英漢字典 EC Dictionary's written reviews are positive against 79% of Erudite Dictionary Translator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
