Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ModernChineseDictionary at 62% against 现代汉语大词典's 13%. ModernChineseDictionary also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (64 vs 8). 现代汉语大词典's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.9) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. 现代汉语大词典 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ModernChineseDictionary sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
现代汉语大词典 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ModernChineseDictionary has 64 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of 现代汉语大词典's written reviews are positive against 62% of ModernChineseDictionary's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
现代汉语大词典 ships an update every 10 months, ModernChineseDictionary every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
