Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Like Dino! at 97% against Just Dance Controller's 16%. Like Dino! also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). Just Dance Controller's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
