# Laser Dolphin vs Shark Evolve

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 is free to download; Laser Dolphin costs $2.99 up front. Shark Evolve sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Laser Dolphin asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.
