Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UP at 5.0 against Dude Perfect's 4.5. UP also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). Dude Perfect's advantage is ratings volume (3.2K vs 24) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
