Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Your First Dance at 100% against Dance Lessons's 60%. Your First Dance also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Dance Lessons's advantage is ratings volume (625 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
