As far as I can tell, both these products use freely available WordNet 3.0 database and try to make a thesaurus out of it.
In Goldendict, there is a WordNet available as well, but as a dictionary (not a thesaurus). Looking at the WordWeb Free, the quality of their thesaurus is rather poor (since it is mostly computer-generated from WordNet), so I'd recommend to use a proper thesaurus instead of this one.
Both those dictionaries have a window that lists Synonyms / Similar Words that may be substituted for or that may be used instead of the particular word that was searched for; effectively a Thesaurus function window that helps frame the meaning of the word by providing words with a similar definition or meaning.
Nothing is stopping you to create a special dictionary group in Goldendict and place a couple of good thesauruses there. Then you could open a separate tab, switch to that group and voilá. That's how I use GoldenDict when writing, I have a special dictionary group with all my thesauruses.
You could combine various dictionaries in the group, like putting one normal dictionary plus a couple of thesaurus, etc. The sky is the limit.
