Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Dune! at free with in-app purchases against Jetpack Joyride Classic's subscription. Dune! also leads on ratings volume (545K vs 1.4K) and chart position (#204 vs unranked). Jetpack Joyride Classic's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dune! sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Jetpack Joyride Classic sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Dune! against 4.5 for Jetpack Joyride Classic.

Written reviews are what separate them: 28% of Dune!'s written reviews are positive against 31% of Jetpack Joyride Classic's.
