Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Laser Dolphin at 85% against Shark Evolve's 27%. Laser Dolphin also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and chart position (#193 vs unranked). Shark Evolve's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Shark Evolve holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shark Evolve has 135 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 27% of Shark Evolve's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Laser Dolphin ships an update every 8 months, Shark Evolve every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
