Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Runner Defense at none against Sky Dye's 2. Runner Defense also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 9 days) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Sky Dye's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
