DragonSphere makes caring for and managing reptiles and invertebrates simple and reliable. Designed specifically for keepers and breeders, the app lets you organize all essential animal data in one place — from names, photos, morph, and feeding schedules to birthdays, sex, feeder types, and species. Document feedings, sheds, and weight and size measurements, complemented by reminders for feedings and cleanings so nothing gets forgotten. Manage your terrariums and assign animals and cleanup crew. Animals can be exported and imported with all their data via AirDrop to other devices (Premium). Your data is stored locally on your device and optionally synced securely to your private cloud — no registration required. The free version supports up to seven reptiles and invertebrates with all core features. Available in 38 languages. Built by an experienced breeder, DragonSphere gives you maximum control and privacy: your data belongs to you. With DragonSphere Premium you unlock advanced features that make keeping and breeding reptiles and invertebrates significantly more efficient — with an unlimited number of animals and tools that keep you on top of your collection at all times. Log feedings quickly by scanning a QR code or via multi-select for entire groups. Manage your terrariums along with their assigned animals and cleanup crew. For breeders, Breeding Management plans pairings and manages clutches, events, and hatchlings in dedicated projects. Structured Genetics records each animal's morphs by inheritance type and gene locus, and the Gene Calculator shows the expected offspring of a pairing with probabilities — right in a clutch or as a quick calculator from the home screen. Finally, saving and sharing handle the rest: import data from CSV or Time2Feed, share individual animals as .dsanimal files via AirDrop, or create a complete backup including all photos as a .dsbackup file. DragonSphere Premium offers professional tools for structured animal management with full control and privacy over your data. -------------------- What's New -------------------- Version 1.5 · SoloPlan sync master switch · Feeder stock counting · Genetics dataset import · Birth date precision · Improved imports & backups · Many fixes Version 1.4 · Breeding Management · Structured Genetics · Gene Calculator · iPad layout · Backup with photos · Bulk export Version 1.3.3 · Fecal sample tracking · Misting intervals for terrariums · Bulk actions (sold/trash/interval) · SoloPlan integration · Bug fixes · Breeding Management (Beta) prepared · Structured Genetics (Beta) Version 1.3.2 · Animal detail redesigned · Multi-select actions · Notes tabs · Stability improvements Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EVO Microclimate at none against DragonSphere's 2. DragonSphere's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 22 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
