Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dolphin at 4.8 against Arcadia High Mobile's 4.2. Dolphin also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 57%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 57). Arcadia High Mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
