Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Laser Dolphin at 85% against Clean Up 3D's 40%. Laser Dolphin also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). Clean Up 3D's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and ratings volume (28K vs 11). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clean Up 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clean Up 3D has 28K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Laser Dolphin's written reviews are positive against 40% of Clean Up 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Laser Dolphin ships an update every 8 months, Clean Up 3D every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
