A "concise" dictionary will have shorter, to the point definitions for words, to get more definitions into a small space (it will be a small book). A "compact" dictionary will also be a small book in standard format that will have fewer definitions, (leaving out more rare or esoteric words).

A concise dictionary provides brief and easily understandable definitions, while a compact dictionary is physically smaller and designed to be carried around easily. The content in both types of dictionaries is usually limited compared to more comprehensive dictionaries.
