Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Sanic Ball at Free against Sonic Jump™'s $2.99. Sanic Ball also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). Sonic Jump™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#123 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
