Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: 康熙字典 at 100% against 开放云书院's 19%. 康熙字典 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.0). 开放云书院's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 16 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
