Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Social Dance Online at 4.9 against SwingPoints's 4.2. Social Dance Online also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (89% vs 63%). SwingPoints's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SwingPoints sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Social Dance Online sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Social Dance Online has 95 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
