Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MyDolphin Plus at 4.7 against pctapp's 2.2. MyDolphin Plus also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 61 months) and ratings volume (8.9K vs 9). pctapp's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MyDolphin Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyDolphin Plus has 8.9K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of pctapp's written reviews are positive against 20% of MyDolphin Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
pctapp ships an update every 61 months, MyDolphin Plus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
