Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Spike Run at 5.0 against Rocket Dive's 4.1. Spike Run also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Rocket Dive's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
