# 成语大词典 vs 成语字典

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 成语大词典 at 87% against 成语字典's 50%. 成语大词典 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). 成语字典's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 成语大词典 sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 成语字典 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

成语字典 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 25 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of 成语大词典's written reviews are positive against 50% of 成语字典's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

成语大词典 ships an update every 6 weeks, 成语字典 every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
