Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Jetpack Joyride at Free against Ballino's $1.99. Jetpack Joyride also leads on ratings volume (104K vs 2) and chart position (#91 vs unranked). Ballino's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
