Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ballistic SE at 4.8 against Geometry Survivor's 4.0. Ballistic SE also leads on ratings volume (64 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Ballistic SE costs $2.99 and Geometry Survivor $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ballistic SE holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ballistic SE has 64 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Ballistic SE's written reviews are positive against 100% of Geometry Survivor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
