Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Geometry Dash SubZero at none against Wave Dash's 9. Geometry Dash SubZero also leads on ratings volume (85K vs 11K) and chart position (#9 vs #33). Wave Dash's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
