Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dolphin Evolution at 4.7 against Chameleon Care's 4.0. Dolphin Evolution also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 58%) and ratings volume (807 vs 153). Chameleon Care's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
