Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Space at Free against Ultra Dash's $0.99. Space also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Ultra Dash's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 3) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
