Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Orca Killer Whale Simulator at Free against Dolphin Simulator's $0.99. Orca Killer Whale Simulator also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 48 months). Dolphin Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (574 vs 16). On rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Orca Killer Whale Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dolphin Simulator has 574 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Dolphin Simulator's written reviews are positive against 67% of Orca Killer Whale Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dolphin Simulator ships an update every 48 months, Orca Killer Whale Simulator every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
