Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hyper Snake at none against Dragon Story™'s shown. Hyper Snake also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Dragon Story™'s advantage is chart position (#179 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
