The clearest difference is rating: Dot Dash Arcade at 5.0 against Jetpack Joyride Classic's 4.5. Dot Dash Arcade also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9). Jetpack Joyride Classic's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
