Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Santa Fighter at Free against Cavehero's $2.99. Santa Fighter also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and ratings volume (70 vs 1). Cavehero's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Santa Fighter is free to download; Cavehero costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cavehero holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Santa Fighter has 70 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Santa Fighter's written reviews are positive against 75% of Cavehero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
