Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Dance Jam at none against Sundae Picnic's shown. Dance Jam also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Sundae Picnic's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (4.3K vs 50). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
