Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SMOROBOT holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyDolphin has 185 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of MyDolphin's written reviews are positive against 0% of SMOROBOT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyDolphin ships an update every 3 months, SMOROBOT every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
