Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Context at Free against My Word X's $2.99. Context also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.4). My Word X's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ads there is nothing between them.
