Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PickBeeper at none against Sonic Dash Run's 10. PickBeeper also leads on ads (none vs shown). Sonic Dash Run's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#88 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.
