Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MyDolphin Plus at none against Lincoln™'s shown. MyDolphin Plus also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0.1). Lincoln™'s advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 19%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
