# Dolphy Dash vs Dolphin Evolution

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dolphin Evolution at 93% against Dolphy Dash's 49%. Dolphin Evolution also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (807 vs 146). Dolphy Dash's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dolphy Dash sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Dolphin Evolution sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dolphin Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dolphin Evolution has 807 ratings behind it against 146, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Dolphy Dash's written reviews are positive against 93% of Dolphin Evolution's.

Dolphy Dash ships an update fortnightly, Dolphin Evolution every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
