Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dolphin at none against Toured's 4. Dolphin also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 29) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Toured's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
