Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PrimeTime Dance at 4.8 against KAR's 4.2. PrimeTime Dance also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 65%). KAR's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 27 months). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
