Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: InsectoBlast at every 2 months against Sugarplum Dash's every 158 months. Sugarplum Dash's advantage is chart position (#134 vs unranked) and price ($1.99 vs $3.99). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
