Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Penny Prima at none against DanceSupplies's shown. Penny Prima also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). DanceSupplies's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
