Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Speed Tap Rush at none against Grappling Ascent's shown. Speed Tap Rush also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). Grappling Ascent's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
