# Weblio国語辞典 vs JapanDict2

The clearest difference is rating: JapanDict2 at 5.0 against Weblio国語辞典's 4.5. JapanDict2 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Weblio国語辞典's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weblio国語辞典 sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and JapanDict2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

JapanDict2 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weblio国語辞典 has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
