Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dream Hopper at 90% against Jelly Dance's 27%. Dream Hopper also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (5.8K vs 568). Jelly Dance's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
