Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PocketTurtles at none against Dino Evolution's shown. PocketTurtles also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Dino Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
